Leea Port, Editor-in-Chief

Hi everyone! My name is Leea, and I am the editor-in-chief of The Chanticleer. I am a senior communication major with a concentration in interactive journalism. Journalism is my passion because I believe we need truthful, clear and representing information fed to our society. It is my dream to travel around the world, learning and sharing stories about cultures and current events to educate others as well.
