Daisy Woodbury

Daisy Woodbury graduates in a few days from the University of the Ozarks. She'll go out into the world with two majors: Theatre and Communication Studies, and a minor in Psychology. In her college years she has given back to these programs with her talent and drive and completed numerous internships. She's ready! In fact, she'll go directly to her first job as soon as the commencement recessional is played. From a progressive high school in her hometown of Mountain Home, Arkansas to the liberal arts college in the river valley at the foot of the Ozark mountains, Daisy has been becoming the woman and professional she is now, leading theatrical and video format shows along the way as well as producing an award-winning radio show...for fun. Dedicated to her crafts and bringing a vision to both programs as well as lifting other students along the way, Daisy shares her journey and her introspection on life so far and what it takes to be successful while also having fun and looking out for others.

Librarian and Decorated Sailor

Moving from one small town in the American South, to another in the American Southwest, Wes Edens was an average guy with above-average-intellect and a thirst for adventure. A short stint in college and a small mistake left him temporarily unsure of his future...but then he saw the Navy recruiting trailer on the campus of the University of Arizona, and the rest is history. In our recorded Zoom conversation during the COVID-19 pandemic, Wes told me about growing up fast and the lessons learned on a gigantic aircraft carrier.
