MEET THE STAFF OF "THE REPORT"
Staff for "The Report" are nominated by RPTA faculty for demonstrating excellent writing skills in RPTA classes. Student writers then coordinate with the editor and faculty advisor Dr. Brian Greenwood to develop and write articles.
The editor for 2021-2013 is Anthonia "Toni" Edgren (RPTA '13). This is Toni's third year as editor!
Kevin Mould (RPTA '14), Hannah Baker (RPTA '13), & Laurel Thomson (RPTA '15) are returning staff members who began in Fall 2001, Winter 2012, & Fall 2012, respectively. Kalli Sandberg (RPTA '14) returned to the staff after a year hiatus. Welcome back, Kalli!
Here's more about the staff (in alphabetical order):
Hannah Baker (RPTA '13), Staff Writer
Baker spent a good part of her younger years growing up near the beach in Santa Cruz, CA, and then moved up north to the small foothill town of Nevada City, CA. She is most happy spending time in the beautiful outdoors, whether it be in a garden, in the redwoods, or in the ocean! Her true passion lies in the preservation of the environment as well as sustainable practices. Baker hopes to only broaden her knowledge of these areas of study throughout the rest of her years here at Poly. Having recently switched into the RPTA major, getting the chance to meet the faculty in the department and learn alongside fellow RPTA students, has been "the best experience I've had yet at Cal Poly!"
Anthonia Edgren (RPTA '13), Editor
Edgren is a third year RPTA student concentrating in Sport Management and Special Events. She has been on The Report staff for three years and truly enjoys the opportunity to be Editor. Edgren hopes to turn her love of sports and communication into a career with either her hometown team, the San Diego Chargers, or a sports broadcasting network such as ESPN. In her free time, her favorite activities are running in Poly Canyon, indoor cycling and line dancing at the Grad.
Kevin Mould (RPTA '14), Staff Writer
Mould is excited to be a part of The Report staff. A second-year student from Mountain View, Mould's concentration is Sport Management, a tribute to his love for the San Jose Sharks. Why he chose RPTA: “All through high school I knew I wanted to do something related to sports business, and this seemed like the perfect way to do that!”
Kalli Sandberg (RPTA '14)
Sandberg is a fourth year RPTA student from Marin County, CA (just North of the Golden Gate bridge) with a minor in Media Arts and Technology. One day she hopes to work in production for Pixar or go into education administration. She chose Recreation Parks and Tourism Administration because "RPTA gives me an opportunity to combine my leadership and organizational skills with fun and amazing staff, students, and classes. Most of my friends just nickname the major 'FUN,' and I couldnt be happier with my decision." Outside of the department Kalli is also a Poly Rep, giving tours to prospective students and connecting with Cal Poly alumni all year. Within Poly Reps she is the Special Events Committee Chair, getting to use the knowledge she has gained from RPTA in her planning and preparation. Sandberg comes to "The Report" after having shown her writing abilities both in the classroom and in the blogosphere.
Laurel Thomson (RPTA '15)
Thomson, a 2nd year RPTA student, spent her childhood in Roseville, CA. Choosing the RPTA department was "one of the best decisions in her life," and from the very first day in RPTA 101, Thomson knew she was in the right place. It's a perfect match for her, and with her degree, she aspires to travel the world and work in either Event or Resort Management. Thomson is thrilled to have the opportunity to join The Report, and is looking forward to the years to come.
