Caitlyn Garrity

Caitlyn Garrity, sophomore, is a Print Writer for VALLEY and is from freezing-cold Minnesota. She is double majoring in Journalism and French, with a minor in DTMA. If you do not find her in the library typing away on an article or blog, you can definitely find her at the IM building sweating away her stress. Her dream one day is to write for a publication in France and wake up to the smell of des pains du chocolat.
