Allie Hinga's Profile

Allie Hinga is a dual journalism and English major from the suburbs of Houston, Texas — League City, to be exact.

For the spring 2013 semester, Allie reported for the Missourian's community beat. She was a K-12 education reporter in spring 2012, where she primarily covered school board and other district issues.

Allie spent summer 2012 living in the Rocky Mountains, working as a day camp counselor at the YMCA of the Rockies — Estes Park Center. While she was there, she learned the arts of leadership, creativity, enthusiasm, and coaxing kids through the last parts of all-day hikes.

When she isn't reporting, Allie enjoys playing guitar, reading good books and volunteering.

She also enjoys blogging, and often posts about her journalism experiences at alliehinga.wordpress.com.
