multimedia journalism to her work with the historical Holocaust Memorial in Miami Beach, FL. Reflecting back

activities were you involved in while at school?
TIFFANY GLICK: I started at Palmer Trinity in the middle of the
1997–1998 school year as a sixth grader. Even though I came in as
the "new kid," my classmates and teachers welcomed me with open
arms and PTS quickly became my home for the next seven years. I
started out serving on the staff of The Falconer and eventually became
Editor-in-Chief my junior and senior years. I was also a member of
the Student Government Association, as acting President during the
2003–2004 school year, and I served on the Honor Council my junior
and senior years.
TG: While at Southern Methodist University, I received my Bachelor

of Arts degree in Journalism. I knew from a young age that I wanted
to study journalism, mainly because my father was a great sports
journalist early in his career. He had so many amazing on-the-job
stories to tell, prompting me to want to follow in his footsteps.
Working with The Falconer staff at PTS gave me the jump start to
pursue this field.
