About Me

5th year Professional Writing student at York Uni in Toronto. Hope to be a journalist proper someday, but in the meantime I'm content with my humble student journalist escapades. I'm trapped in a tumulturous long-term relationship with "The Arts." It's left me with a light wallet, OCD, unrealistic expectations of the world, and a suspicious rash, but dammit, I still love her!Feel the need to read some of my work? Three things you can do: message me and I will send you some of my published material, look me up on google (I'm the only Colleen Hale-Hodgson in existence, apparently), or go to excal.on.ca - I should have some articles in the arts archive.
