FACULTY

Co-Editor-in-Chief and Videographer Kayla Bishop is a Senior Math Major with a slightly unhealthy passion for learning and cupcakes. A Red Skies junkie, she loves to laugh, and in the free time she deludes herself into believing she has, she enjoys watching the Boston Bruins and shoot videos, artistic or silly. She is always buried in a pile of homework and currently is up to her neck in graduate school applications. She is absorbed by Number Theory, and is appalled by the many English Majors she knows to whom Calculus and Cartesian Geometry are mysteries. She sleeps in summers; in restaurants, everyone lets her leave the tip because she does percentages in her head.

Co-Editor-in-Chief and Publicist Andrew Seidel is a senior from Newburyport, MA who is majoring English with a Concentration in Professional Writing. He served as a Teaching Assistant on campus for the English Department, was an RA, and is currently the captain of the Ultimate Frisbee team. His vices include coffee, fireworks, Mexican food and Words With Friends. No one has identified his virtues, but the rumor is that he has several. You can find his creative writing on his blog and from time to time right here in Red Skies.

Managing Editor Courtney Saba is a sophomore English Major with a concentration in Professional Writing. It's always a rare day if you see her wearing any color other than black (seriously rare, you should probably take a picture). She enjoys reading, writing, singing, and playing piano -- but not at the same time. She also enjoys pretending she knows how to do the "Single Ladies" dance, but really just dances like a fool. She loves tattoos, music, and smoothies. Someday she hopes to travel around the world. World governments have been alerted.

Senior Editor for Special Projects Kathleen "Kat" Casey is an English Major with a concentration in Professional Writing and a minor in Sociology. She spends most of her time reading and working on her creative writing when she is not redesigned Red Skies.  You can read her creative writing, book reviews, and other thoughts on her blog "Shelf Life," not to mention here.  She wishes she had been 22 in 1942, but realizes she cannot have everything -- but that does not stop her from trying. She is in search of the perfect pair of shoes

Senior Writer and Associate Editor Sandy Sprague is a senior English major with a concentration in Professional Writing and a minor in French. She works at the Abbot Public Library in Marblehead, her little waterfront hometown. Currently she is an intern at the Salem Partnership, a writer and editor for Red Skies, and an editor for Soundings East. In what free time she has, she likes to read a good book, go to the beach, or take pictures with her sad excuse of a digital camera.

Tashima Gallant, Editor Emeritus, is a former Editor-in-Chief and Managing Editor who still writes the occasional feature for Red Skies. A proud member of the 99% and native of Lynn, she is active in a number of political causes, not least being the Occupy Movement. Her favorite words are "shank," "yo,"and several that cannot be translated from the Spanish without getting Red Skies closed down. She is majoring in English with a Concentration in Professional Writing and works full-time on a graveyard shift that keeps her out of trouble and pays for gas. That’s Elvis Presley peeking out of her blouse, and if you need that explained, Tash says, “Yo! I’ll shank the first.....” Well, never mind.
