Advertising Editor and Staff Writer Erika Clayton will attend OU to study journalism in the fall.

Erika Clayton, Advertising Editor

Hi, I'm Erika! I'm a senior, and including our journalism team, I am involved with Chapters of Azle, UIL Journalism, the National Honors Society, and the MGP. I started getting into journalism my freshman year by writing headlines for UIL Journalism and learned a lot by watching the team grow. I hope to develop as a writer while on the team, and then go on to have a career in journalism.
