Carolyn is from a Chicago suburb and went to University of Illinois to study News-Editorial Journalism. She is currently interning at Amnesty International in Washington, DC before she returns to U of I to get a Master's of Political Science. She has been lucky enough to do some traveling in the past few years, and in the future would like to do more. Right now she is spending most of her time figuring out what she wants to do in the future and planning as much travel as possible to satiate her curiosity. She thinks that will take a while.

The Rumpus publishes original fiction, poetry, literary humor writing, comics, essays, book reviews, and interviews with authors and artists of all kinds. Our mostly volunteer-run magazine strives to be a platform for risk-taking voices and writing that might not find a home elsewhere. We lift up new voices alongside those of more established writers our readers may already know and love. We want to bring new perspectives into the conversation that will make us all look deeper.

We believe that literature builds community—and if reading The Rumpus makes you feel more connected, please show your support! Get your Rumpus merch in our online store.
