My name is Laura Waldchen and I am a junior studying Computer Mediated Communication at CSU. My interest in journalism lies specifically in creating photo layouts, websites and the like. I currently have moderate experience working with Photoshop and Dreamweaver, but plan on further developing my skills. I am a transplant to Colorado, originally from the small town of New Providence, N.J.. Upon moving to Fort Collins over two years ago, I immediately fell in love with the state. After getting married to my husband, Steve, this summer, I have essentially made Colorado my new home. Although I find myself missing my frequent trips into New York City and to the Jersey Shore, I've decided that the occasional vacation back to the east coast satisfies my longings. I try to take advantage of all Colorado has to offer by snowboarding, hiking, and boating as regularly as I can. I also enjoy attending a concert or two, and I'm probably a little too attached to my boxer mix Melvin. When I have time to waste surfing the web I usally frequent Ebay to find some good deals, YouTube for a good laugh, and Flickr to satisfy my artistic side.
