EDITORIAL STAFF
Nina Cázares
God Moments Editor
Nina is a senior graduating with her B.A in English. When people ask her what she plans to do with her degree, her general reply is "anything," but she believes in the radical power of words and stories. If there was a way to combine her love for all things creative, ethereal, and "feel-good," like waking up from a nap and traveling with people she loves, with a mix of challenges that inspire growth, tied together with sharing the value of reading and writing, she would be delighted. Until she finds that profession or creates one, she will be running her fingers through book pages, penning thoughts and daydreaming about possibilities.
