On April 1st, the Kansas Free Press will mark its 6-month anniversary. With gratitude for the Kansans who nobly commit their time and talents to citizen journalism, we are celebrating our upcoming half-year anniversary by proudly showcasing each of our writers.
MANHATTAN, Kan. - In this profile, we are honored to introduce KFP correspondent, Kristen Walters. She is currently a senior at Kansas State University with an English literature major and a women's studies minor. She's hoping to go to graduate school to pursue a masters degree in women's / cultural studies.
Kristen is also a Kansas Free Press (KFP) intern, earning college credit at KSU by writing at KFP. We're thrilled to have her here. She says that she will continue writing at KFP, even after her semester is over. Eventually, Kristen would like to work for a non-profit feminist organization, like a crisis center, or build a career that focuses on promoting women's rights and equality.
Kristen interested in a broad range of women's issues from sexual and reproductive rights, workplace rights, to educational equality among the sexes. She's very interested in women's studies, hopes to spread awareness of women's issues and is interested in promoting women's rights and overall equal human rights.
Kristen is also a bookworm, avid movie watcher and coffee addict. She says that she dislikes most vegetables, Fred Phelps and snakes.
After being a lifelong resident of Kansas, she has decided it was time to take a more active role in her community, and writing for Kansas Free Press is a vehicle to do that. We're very honored that this young activist writes at the Kansas Free Press!
