About Me
Paige Hettinger is a junior English and Women's and Gender Studies major at Kenyon College. She is a dedicated fan of Taylor Swift, pretending to be a film critic, dogs she doesn't own and cats she does, and taking naps at inopportune times. A Washington, D.C. native, Paige is an avid reader of young adult fiction and listener of musical theatre. You can find her on Twitter @paigehettinger, where she's bound to be talking about her hyper-fixation of the week.
