About Sara Morrey

This is Sara’s sixth semester with the CU Independent. She has previously worked as a news reporter, deadline news editor and managing editor, and spent the summer of 2010 as an intern at the Denver Business Journal. She has a general aversion to fish, contact lenses and camping, and is almost positive she has kept Orbit gum and Rush in business for the past year. The CUI has greatly impacted her college experience and she is looking forward to what this semester has to bring.
