Lynnsey Veach, Staff Reporter (Spring 2016)

Hi, my name is Lynnsey and I am a junior journalism major with minors in political science and public relations. I am currently the City Reporter for the DEN. I love watching Grey’s Anatomy with my cat Lilly and my favorite singers are Elvis Presley and Lana Del Rey. I’m a lifelong Chicago Cubs fan, a Peyton Manning fan, and I enjoy attending the Indy 500 every year.
