Angela's writing samples are broken down into three categories: Pop Culture Criticism, Academic / Professional, and Creative. The criticism and academic pieces reflect Angela's major in Communications, while the creative work is representative of Angela's two minors: English Literature and Writing.
Pop Culture CriticismThis section includes essays that cover a wide range of pop culture themes: teen TV, Kim Kardashian, celebrity culture, parenting, and media portrayals of women.
