Hi:) My name is Sam Szekely (he/him) I’m a third-year pre-law student majoring in political science and creative writing with a minor in anthropology. Outside of creative writing, I play guitar and banjo and write music, read lots, act, and do a variety of textile arts. I’m also the copy editor for The Daily Barometer, OSU’s newspaper! A fun artsy fact about me is I played Frank N’ Furter in a shadow cast of Rock Horror Picture Show. A slightly less fun less artsy fact about me is I’ve watched all 17 seasons of Criminal Minds 4 times through. So excited to be volunteering with Prism this year!
