Introduction: Brittan Allen

My name is Brittan Allen and I am a senior studying journalism in Gaylord College.  I am planning to graduate in May and I couldn't be more excited.  This is the only online course I am taking this semester though I have taken many in the past.  In addition to this course, I am also taking my senior capstone course which will be challenging.  Right now, I am an intern at Oklahoma Watch, a non-profit, investigative online newspaper, and I also work on campus as a student worker.  After graduation, I am joining News21 in Phoenix and reporting on the regulations of marijuana across the country.  

Outside of school and work, I also have one cat and a dog.  My cat, Toby, is two years old and a handful to say the least.  Raley, my Australian Shepherd, is eight months old and again, a handful.  Aside from catering to my pets, I spend a lot of time in Tulsa which is where I'm from.  It is my favorite place to be and there really is no place like home.  I have also been a vegetarian for the last seven years and recently decided to go vegan so yay fruits and vegetables!  

Eventually, I hope to travel a lot for both work and leisure.  With my profession, I think that's a definite possibility and I'm looking forward to it.  I have traveled some but I've only been out of the country once and that was to Mexico.  I was very young at the time so I don't remember much.  I hope to travel to Spain and New Zealand in the near future.  Inside the United States, Portland is on my list of next places to travel along with Seattle.  Since they're so close, I'm hoping to knock those out at the same time.
