Hello everyone! My name in Melissa Whitler (they/them), and for the next 10 weeks I will be working as an editorial intern for Dallas Voice.
I have spent my whole life in the Dallas area, and recently graduated from Southern Methodist University with a B.A. in English and Human Rights and a minor in Women’s and Gender Studies.
I served on SMU’s inaugural Pride Visibility Day team as decorations chair for our campus’s first ever large scale LGBTQ+ Pride event.
My passion is for LGBTQ+ literature, especially focusing on transgender representation. I love reading, writing, crochet, and stuffed animals.
