Biography

My name is Raylee Elder, I am 19 years old. I am a freshmen journalism major at the University of Texas at Austin. Transitioning from a town of only 3,000 people to a city of almost a million has been interesting to say the least. College has definitely been a great experience for me so far, getting to know so many wonderful people through different organizations and intramural sports has been my favorite part. Before my enrollment at The University of Texas I attended Freer High School where I graduated 5th out of 52 students. In high school I was a varsity volleyball and basketball player for 3 years, I wrote several articles for the city newspaper The Freer Press. When I wasn't playing sports, or writing articles I spent my time working on our school yearbook. While at The University of Texas my goals are to meet as many people as I can and learn to network more efficiently, while I focus on my journalism degree and future goals. Upon college graduation, I hope to become a sports or entertainment broadcastor. In my spare time I enjoy watching sports, or reading a good book.
