Meagan O'Toole-Pitts

city editor

HOMETOWN: Ovilla, Texas

CAREER TRACK: Junior communication major with a minor in journalism. Received an associate degree in journalism and broadcast media in El Paso.

Most unforgettable experience on the job: My interview with Operation Santa Claus organizer Jerry Spurbeck at Fort Bliss. It was a long story but so interesting; it was hard to end. I learned a lot and that story turned out to be my best to date.

SOMETHING PEOPLE DON'T KNOW ABOUT ME:

I donate plasma every week. When I was 5, I wrote my first short story, which I revered as a novel. 'My Little Flower' was the start of a long list of short stories, poems and aspirations to becoming a writer. That life-long dream led me to seek a career as a journalist.

Why I am working for The Battalion To expand my experience and help to make The Battalion the best student newspaper in the nation.

IF i had two spare hours, I would: Read a book.
