About Ainslee Mac Naughton

Ainslee is a junior majoring in journalism. She spends most semesters taking sociology and anthropology and English classes, hoping to find another major to complement her journalism degree. She hopes to work on travel magazines and spend times in various parts of the world, although she'll never pass up a chance to go home to south Texas and eat barbecue. She thinks she's funny, even if nobody else does, and enjoys puppies, popcorn kernels and not doing the dishes.
