Erin Simmonds
History / Religious Studies / French triple major at Wofford College
I'm a second-year student at Wofford College dedicated to consistently high academic achievement. A highly motivated team player with experience in sports communication, journalism, and leadership roles, I quickly adapt to new situations, facing challenges with confidence and initiative. I solve problems through research, creativity, and a willingness to seek assistance.
As Senior Design Editor of the Wofford College Old Gold and Black, I redesigned the biweekly publication. I coordinate communication between editors, photographers, writers, and design staff on a regular basis and manage the layout team of designers and photographers.
