Jessica McElfresh is a staff writer for Flux but more importantly, she is a senior who loves to write, quilt, paint, and travel. Four days after graduation, she will travel to Ghana for a media internship working on social justice. She then hopes to work as a language assistant in Spain for the 2008-2009 school year. She is a magazine journalism major, but two years ago she pursued her passion for biology through a study abroad program in Costa Rica and scored a biology minor. She is currently writing (procrastinating) her thesis about wave energy off the Oregon coast and she hopes to tackle science writing and magazine editing when she's back in the United States. Her work has appeared in Oregon Coast and Northwest Travel.
