Samantha Malone

Before enrolling in the communication and journalism department at Northern Illinois University the only thing I was sure of in my dreams was music. Once I began attending classes and working for the paper, I quickly realized my deep love for writing and hopes to combine my two passions into one. Currently, I work as the Entertainment Editor of the Northern Star as well as a contributing writer for mxdwn and previously contributed to Rare Chicago. While I still pursue my music very actively, writing is something that has also stolen my heart and I continue to work toward both restlessly.
