Torey Ellis, Copy Editor
Torey is a fourth-year Canadian studies, history and journalism student and a lover of all things grammatical. She has worked with the Gazette for the past two years, first as a staff contributor and later as the assistant news editor. Her new role as copy editor gets her some sweet perks, such as an email inbox that makes her feel popular and being able to hide in the back room during the chaos of contributors’ meetings. Mild agoraphobia notwithstanding, any writer looking for help with a story, advice on how to improve writing or reporting skills, or to question a dubious editing decision can find her there most days of the week. And yes—that Oxford comma was deliberate.
