Listening Closely.
Sharing Stories.
My name is Ryleigh Ruddle and I’m a Political Science major and Journalism minor. My career aspirations are to unite the world in news that does not market an agenda or narrative. I want to be able to present facts. I want the American people to find connection and unity with each other and the world. I enjoy hanging out with friends,listening to audiobooks, and watching movies.
