Sarah Waldrip is a double major in Magazine Journalism and English Literature, and she hopes to one day become a music and travel journalist. Right now, she is a member of the Chancellor's Honors Program at UTK, and she has written for the Daily Beacon campus newspaper before joining the staff here at TNJN. This is her third year at UT, and she hopes to graduate by 2012.

"I love everything to do with music! I hope to be a source for music news for the campus, since I feel this is something that is drastically under appreciated by our community. Knoxville is a hot spot for live music, and I aim to inform as many people as possible about all the interesting things that come through this town." - Sarah Waldrip

Sarah is always open to suggestions and constructive criticism. Please feel free to utilize her e-mail address if you have any comments or story ideas you would like to see covered in our publication.
