Editor-in-Chief | Do We Know What We’re Losing?, 2023
Marketing Director | Babel, Fall 2022

Hi, I’m Ally. I believe that literature is one of the most important things on the planet!

I'm from Southern California, I love coffee, thrift stores, and good food. I'm strategic, creative, good at communicating, and have a LARGE gap in working experience because all the programs I've been a part of since high school stipulate that you can't have jobs! My overarching goals in life are 1) finding out what is The Good Life and 2) how can I consistently pursue truth, goodness, and beauty.

Graphic Designer | Do We Know What We’re Losing? 2023
Graphic Designer | Babel, Fall 2022

I have three loves: words, music, and drawing. I believe that story is one of the greatest parts of existence, and I'm passionate about stories told through various mediums (novels, poetry, graphic novels, songs, etc.). I'm a chronic bibliophile, reading eight or more books at a time. One of these days my books will fall over and kill me. Until then, I want to read as many as possible. I have a deep dislike of anything written in present-tense, and doubly so for present-tense first-person. There is only one book in P.T. 1st P. that I liked (the Seven and a Half Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle). My dream is to one day be a published author.

As you can see here I’m pretty proud of my flip phone. I like vinyl but I also like folgers coffee. I think few things are better than a poem spoken aloud from memory—learned “by heart.” I think getting an MFA in poetry is silly.

I am from Portland, OR. I enjoy working outside. I enjoy talking with friends on a rainy day.

Poetry Editor | Babel, Fall 2022

Besides writing poetry, of course, I love to play guitar, paint, learn languages, crochet, make memes, and daydream to a soundtrack of Pink Floyd and Chicago. I am obsessed with the music, fashion, cars, and other pop culture of the 1950's-1980's, which influences my self-expression and art more than anything else in the world. I've worked all sorts of jobs, from baker to art teacher to janitor. In the fall of 2021, I studied in Sevilla, Spain and the further I get away from that time, the more I realize a small part of me still lives there.

You can catch me around campus with my head in the clouds and wearing bell bottoms or saddle shoes, depending on the day.

Well, I'm Brayden Tibbetts. I’m an avid amateur photographer.

Here is a list of things. It starts with things I love and ends with things I despise. Everything falls somewhere on this list.

1. My late beta fish
2. The willow tree near my house
3. My best friend’s dog
4. A Lego spaceship I designed
5. Playing cards
6. Lamps
7. The tv show Friends
8. Dairy-free ice cream
9. Cheap paper
10. Splinters

I primarily read memoirs and creative nonfiction (catch me always studying outside of class). In my own work, I explore the intersectionality of nature and spirituality. I would describe my writing style as Mary Oliver meets Brian Doyle meets Anne Lamott. Fun fact! This summer I got a tattoo inspired by Mary Oliver’s poem, “Wild Geese.”

The only thing I can say about myself is that I really truly love art. If I could sit in a museum looking at expressions of thoughts and ideas I would… I love photography, painting, and poetry. Honestly, if I’m not making art I’m either talking about it, looking at it, or reading about it. Catch me geeking out over some random fact about Artemesia Gentileschi.

When I got to George Fox, all I knew was that I loved reading and I loved writing. I had no idea what I wanted to do, but I figured I would start there. Over my years here, I fell in love with communications and media. I am so excited to use everything I have learned about critical thinking, literature, and business out in the real world.

Fun fact: I have been to over 20 countries.

As an artist, one of my greatest loves is painting, and I draw much of my inspiration from the works of my favorite painters. Some of my biggest inspirations right now are Albert Bierstadt, Thomas Couture, and Alphonse Mucha.

I’ve been in love with stories and words for as long as I can remember; the evolution from a love of reading to a love of writing seemed inevitable to me as a child. My love of poetry developed later on, as I began to realize what words can do when directed towards beauty and truth.

Fun Fact! I have, at one point in my life or another, lived in three different countries besides the United States!
