Jessie Warren

Jessie Warren, Print Managing Editor

Jessie Warren is a senior, and this will be her second and final year as a staff member of The Central Trend. Ever eager to write, she finds a sort of solace in sharing her words with others, a passion that has bonded her to the other visionaries of Rooms 139 and 140. Besides a desire to keep pumping out work she can be proud of, Jessie is keen to finally resurrect the print edition alongside fellow Print Managing Editor Lauren Batterbee, a horizon that is seemingly getting closer and closer with each day that passes.

Favorite Shows: Fleabag, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, and Normal People

If she were a type of building, she would be: A planetarium or a tea shop

Favorite stories to write: She enjoys writing columns most, but the feeling of putting together a great feature is something she has slowly learned to fall in love with.

A few of her favorite things: Cliche coming-of-age films, the feeling in the driver's seat of her Subaru, and her community—whether that be her kindred spirits, her family, or her dog, Levi.
