Madison Darby-McClure

I'm a writer, a poet, a volleyball player, a student, and a Coloradan. Those things are all big parts of my identity, which, like any college student, I've been trying to figure over the last few years. Next year will be my fourth and final year at Newberry College in South Carolina. College has brought out a lot of different aspects of myself that I wasn't sure of before - I now recognize my drive and ambition, my desire to hold an audience and be heard, and my need to express myself. Holding a position at the Odyssey is one way for me to do that, and additionally provides a larger audience than just my campus or a writing club. I believe that I have a lot to say, and the Odyssey provides a medium for me to say it.
