CORA

O'SULLIVAN

I am a full-time student working towards my degree and 
aspiring to be an editor. 
About Me

About Me

Hi, my name is Cora O'Sullivan and I am currently a senior ​at Azusa Pacific University. I am working towards a Bachelor's Degree in English with a minor in Journalism. My interest in pursuing a degree in English stems from my love of reading that began at a young age. This eventually developed into my aspiration to become an editor in the book publishing industry.

​

​

My experience as a Staff Writer for the student newspaper on campus has given me a firsthand look at the responsibilities of a journalist, while preparing me for the fast-paced environment of a newsroom, no matter what role I could be in. My positions as a Writing Coach and a Fiction Editor are vital in placing me on the opposite side; instead of writing, I happen to be the one looking at the writing and interacting with the writers, which gives me a unique experience of understanding both sides.
