Hey! I’m May. I’m a Theatre Arts and English double major, with minors in Acting, Musical Theatre Performance, Music, Spanish, and History, and I’m in the class of 2025. I don’t really watch sports, but I did play soccer up until high school. I have two cats, Hashbrown and Poppy, who are my babies. When I’m not researching or in the theater, you’ll probably find me playing Stardew Valley!
Hi! I’m Danielle and I’m in the Class of 2025 double majoring in Political Science and Theatre. I cycled through a bunch of sports when I was younger but now, I’m just a casual fan. But my family has always been super into sports, and I love the hot dog race at Camden Yards. When I’m not researching, I love to sing, act, and crochet!
Hello, there! I’m a sociology major and philosophy minor at McDaniel College. When I’m not researching the intersection between sports and politics, I enjoy reading, painting, and having unsolicited conversations about sociology with whatever victim is near.
Hello! My name is Emily (they/them) and I’m in the Class of 2025 at McDaniel College. I’m a Writing and Publishing Major with a minor in Journalism/ New Media, making me an avid reader and writer.

When I’m not working with WYJS, I’m a part-time barista and freelance writer for local magazines!
Hi! My name is Izzi and I am a rising senior at McDaniel college. I am studying English and American Sign Language and hope to be an ASL interpreter in the future!

Heyo! My name’s Jenn, and I’m a Writing and Publishing major at McDaniel College. I’m a big fan of sci-fi and animation. I also enjoy singing, listening to movie scores, and writing fiction and memoir. Fun fact: I could never become a professional baseball player, one, because I’m bad at baseball, and two, because of my koumpounophobia.
Hi there! I’m a Marketing major and Psychology minor and I love all things creative – writing, drawing, videography & editing, photography, and the performing arts.

Hello! I’m a senior Writing & Publishing major at McDaniel College. Despite being the worst athlete you’ll probably ever meet, I’ve spent two summers working on the WYJS project.

I’m a 2022 graduate of McDaniel College with a BA in Graphic Design. I founded a own women’s sports media company, More Than Just Balls, to elevate the voices of female athletes! I currently work for ESPN as a social media and design intern and will attend The University of Texas in the fall to pursue my master’s in Advertising!
