Gasmyne Cox: My name is Gasmyne Cox and I'm an avid reader, gamer, music listener and movie watcher. My major is mass communication with a minor in journalism. While being a senior undergraduate, working with this organization lines up perfectly with what I want to do in the future. Learning has been a huge point in my life and I intend to finish what I start. Aside from all the serious stuff my favorite kinds of music are pop, j-pop, and rap. Also I'm more of a fiction reader I like how I can get lost in other people's creative works. In addition, to that is the games I play are more role-playing, open-world, and solo. The movies I tend to watch vary from what seems interesting to how I'm feeling that day.
