Traci Garling Lee

Garling Lee Traci Garling Lee is a fourth-year Literary Journalism and Global Cultures double major, but that's only a clever facade. By day, she writes for and manages the New University newspaper and works in marketing and publicity at the Claire Trevor School of the Arts. By night, she enjoys spinning vinyl and dancing in the moonlight. She would like to tell you that she is an accomplished surfer, YouTube star and trampoline gymnast, but she's not a fan of water (or the giant animals that live in the water), hasn't changed her guitar strings in almost a year and is afraid of trampolines. Her dreams are to time-travel and to always remember to water her plants. Lee likes to write, read, engage in long and short conversations, sit in coffee shops, and all of the other cliche things one would expect a journalism major to do. After college, she hopes to spend her time ridding the world of evil and planting tulips across the globe -- but seeing as how she cannot remember where her passport is, she may have to settle somewhere in America first, apply for a new passport and then wait two to six weeks.
