ABOUT
Hi! I’m Carsen Blevins, a junior at Texas State University majoring in Mass Communication with a minor in English. I’ve always been passionate about the power of storytelling, whether it’s through writing, photography, or creative media, and I’m excited to continue building a career that brings those passions to life.
For the past two years, I’ve worked as a Writing Consultant at the University Writing Center, where I get to help fellow students strengthen their writing and find their voice. Whether I’m crafting a research paper or editing a news story, I love creating content that informs, connects, and inspires. I’m constantly looking for ways to grow and challenge myself, and I thrive in collaborative, creative spaces.
My community and interacting with others has given me so many opportunities to explore my interests and expand my skill set. I’m excited to take on new projects, gain more responsibilities, and continue learning everything I can about the world of media and communication.
