  • Editor-in-Chief
    Kaitlyn McConnell
    kmcconnell@drurymirror.com
  • With an incredibly wide range of activities and interests, I like to call myself an eclectic enthusiast. Amid my duties as editor of the Mirror and finishing up my Integrated Media major, I enjoy researching (and writing about) Ozarks history, going out with friends, reading anything and everything I can get my hands on and even fitting in a lazy drive down a country back road when I can.

    Molly Riddle
    mriddle@drurymirror.com
  • I'm a sophomore Advertising major from Branson, MO. In addition to my post as the News Editor for the Mirror, I'm a Resident Assistant, secretary for Residence Life Association, and member of Zeta Tau Alpha. In my free time I like to immerse myself in baking cupcakes, watching movies or reading, exploring Springfield, or enjoying my weekend job at Silver Dollar City.

    Yelana Bosovik
    ybosovik@drurymirror.com
  • I was born in Ukraine and moved to Oregon when I was 8, and in my sophomore year of high school I moved to Springfield. I am a Marketing & Management Major, but I honestly have no idea what career field I'm going to go into. My world revolves around God, my family, friends and a million other interests and responsibilities.

  • Sports Editor
    Josh Hall
    jhall@drurymirror.com
  • I’m from Springfield, and graduated from Kickapoo High School in 2007. I am an integrated media major and play on the Drury Baseball team. Random fact: I have seen every episode of Seinfeld at least 10 times. Someday, I hope to write a sitcom of my own.

  • Copy Editor
    Jessica Elam
    jelam@drurymirror.com
  • I’m a junior at Drury pursuing dual majors in English and Speech Communication, hoping the combination will land me an editing position in journalism or a publishing house. Too much of my free time is wasted reading or watching TV, and too much of my money is wasted on trips into Barnes and Noble or shirts from clearance racks or jeans from American Eagle. Keep an eye out for my sarcasm and disturbing sense of humor—they scare some people.

  • Hi, I'm Andrea, a Springfield native and 5th year student here at Drury. I am majoring in Marketing, Management, Design Arts and Visual Communications. Yes, that is four majors and I know I am crazy! I not only am a photographer for the Mirror but also work for University Marketing and Communications formerly known as the UC. This means I am everywhere! I hope to start my Masters in Integrated Marketing within the next year and know I will eventually run into you at some point so don't hesitate to say hi!

  • Leigh Bishop
    lbishop@drurymirror.com
  • I am from Kimberling City, MO, and am a senior at Drury this year, double-majoring in English and Writing, graduating this December. One fact that anyone who knows me knows about is that I am obsessed with Miley Cyrus. My life goal is to tell and inform people of Dissociative Identity Disorder, in hopes that, one day, it will be accepted as an accurate diagnosis. My plans after college are currently undecided, as the economy is making the decision for me instead of her heart.
