My name is Grace Logan. I am a recent University of Missisippi Graduate.
From my time at OHS, I served as a sports writer the 2017-2018 school year and the sports editor 2018-2019 and 2019-2020 school years. I was the only female sports writer for the publication and obtained the role of sports editor concluding my sophomore year. I also served as the social media editor. I am one of the award writers for the Grammy Museum contest in 2015. I was selected as one of the finalist in the creative writing category and invited to attend the grand opening of the museum in the Delta. I was selected by previous teachers to be a support editor for our peers at the high school and provide feedback to students on their writing. I was the only sophomore selected. I was a finalist for the MSPA sports story of the year in 2018. I was honored with being inducted in the Hall of Fame for MSPA twice. I attended the School of the New York Times during the summer 2019 where I learned and was edited by former New York Times reporter and Business Insider Editor Erica Berenstein and New York Times and Vogue India freelancer Chaya Babu.Â
Continuing into college, I continued my passion for writing as an editorial writer for the student run fashion magazine Square Magazine. I served in this role for three years and worked along side amazing student writers with a common goal of fashion. During my senior year at the university, I used my writing abilities to focus on a research project on Foreign Direct Investment to Europe, specifically in the innovation sector.
