Gillian Hadland – Copy Editor
dtcopydesk@gmail.com

Gillian is a communications major with an emphasis in print journalism and a film minor. Only recently has she announced the fact that she’s a major nerd, but only after countless years of people telling her it was never really a secret. After graduation, she plans to become a screenwriter along with the hopes of becoming the next Tilda Swinton and/or David Fincher’s muse. Many will quickly notice that she’s a bit dark, a complete weirdo and has an attraction to anything on the SciFi channel (Syfy is an abomination which we do not speak of), but that doesn’t stop her from sometimes slipping and curling up in front of the TV with a pint of Ben & Jerry’s to watch the latest episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians. May God have mercy on her soul.
