Katie Turner

Publishing Editor

Publishing editor Katie Turner leads The Reflector’s masthead with the vigor of 300 pirates. After contributing articles to The Reflector for a year, Turner took on the role of features editor, before becoming publishing editor this year. A self-proclaimed “wannabe journalist” in an era when people around the world are predicting the end of journalism as we know it, Turner just hopes to land an industry job once she graduates…oh! and, save the planet Earth if she has time. As an editor, Turner is fond of the noble question mark, which she says is much easier to situate than those pesky commas and dashes. PublishingEditor@thereflector.ca

Zoey Duncan

News Editor

While new this year to the news editor position at The Reflector, Zoey Duncan is no stranger to current events. During her summer internship, she decided to change all the bookmarks on her personal computer to websites like Al Jazeera, BBC and the Globe and Mail in an effort to impress her boss. Although her boss didn’t seem to notice, surrounding herself with news proved to be beneficial in improving her journalistic skills. When she’s not faking it until she makes it, Duncan enjoys reading food blogs and hopes to one day publish a cookbook. In the short term, however, her goals include graduating, finding a job and figuring out how to use Google Wave. NewsEditor@thereflector.ca

Gabrielle Domanski

Features Editor

Gabrielle Domanski is a fourth-year journalism student at Mount Royal and current features editor at The Reflector. Her favourite pastime is anything that has to do with music. She enjoys writing about music, lifestyle and pop culture. When she is not spending her time throwing down to some sweet tunes, you can find her in the Reflector office studying for a test (aka on Facebook) or researching the latest band to hit the music scene. So the next time you are listening to a new song and can’t remember what it’s called there is a heck of a good chance she will know just what song you are talking or singing about. FeaturesEditor@thereflector.ca

Sean-Paul Boynton

Arts Editor

The Reflector is happy to call self-proclaimed music nerd Sean-Paul Boynton, its arts editor. Aside from discovering emerging musical eccentricities, Boynton himself has music flowing through his veins. Practically a one-man band, this editor without a doubt, knows his stuff. He likens himself to a balsam poplar tree — tenderness housed in a rough exterior — but once you get to know Boynton his professionalism and approachability shine through. As far as pies go, Boynton cites apple as his favourite, despite his allergy to the raw fruit. Proof that this arts editor doesn’t let anything deter his goals.

Kelsey Hipkin

Sports Editor

After entering her role as sports editor for a second year, Kelsey Hipkin may be pegged as a simple sports-nut, but in reality she is so much more. “I’ve always had a love of sports,” she explained, adding The Reflector allows her the opportunity to cover both professional and amateur sports here in Calgary. But in addition to her journalistic duties, Hipkin is the resident junk-food junkie in the Reflector office.From slurpees, to foreign chocolate, to A&W rootbeer, Hipkin always has something sweet near by and is always willing to share. In the case of Kelsey Hipkin, the phrase “you are what you eat” is true — she is as sweet as the excessive amount of candy she consumes. Check out Kelsey’s blog, Cougars, calamities and classics at thereflector.ca.

Kelsey Chadwick

Layout Editor

Layout editor Kelsey Chadwick puts written articles to newspaper form and is a crucial part of The Reflector team. When asked to describe herself, she sees herself as having no inner monologue and says exactly what is on her mind. She enjoys having control over the finished Reflector issue and says it’s the people at the student newspaper that have kept her coming back. Originally, Chadwick started off as the sports editor and knows her way around writing articles. She is embarrassed to have read the entire Twilight series in a month and a half and sometimes wishes she were Bella. However, it is not the love struck girl of the series with whom she resonates. Chadwick says she loves Buffy the Vampire Slayer because she is badass but still a lady. Kelsey enjoys long walks on the beach, getting sand all up in her toes, texting and hanging out with friends. LayoutEditor@thereflector.ca

James Paton

Photo Editor

The Reflector is lucky to welcome back supreme photo editor, James Paton, for a second year. With his devotion and precise eye to detail he brings a lot to the table. Speaking of table, if you ever wander down to the Reflector office, you’re most likely to see Paton sitting and enjoy a healthy plate of pasta. One of Paton’s most beloved pastimes is eating, yet you would never think it when seeing him. Paton is great with his camera and has the ability to take remarkable photos that clearly capture the moment. With his positive energy and devotion to creating quality issues, Paton is truly a valuable member to the team. Check out James’ blog, Worth a thousand words at thereflector.ca. PhotoEditor@thereflector.ca
