ABOUT
Hi! I'm Camille, a third-year Creative Writing and Public Policy double major at The University of Chicago. I'm currently a columnist for The Chicago Maroon and Firebird and am a performer with the nation's oldest collegiate sketch and comedy group, Off-Off Campus. I'm interested in political comedy and journalism!
