Hello! I’m Paige Jones, a staff photographer for “The Preface” and a sophomore at IU South Bend. I joined “The Preface” in August and have been loving it ever since. I have always had a passion for photography, and I even took an elective class for it last semester.

As a Pakistani, I don’t see much representation of South Asians in the IU South Bend community, so I’m delighted to share some things about myself with you all.
While Hispanic Heritage Month may have concluded for the year on Oct. 15, our appreciation for our Hispanic community members knows no end date. This issue, we highlight Dr. Carlos Lisoni of the Political Science department here at IU South Bend.
My name is Kristyn or Kris, and I am a junior at IU South Bend. I am a drawing and painting major, and I am also working towards getting a minor in printmaking. I really enjoy creating semi-realistic and illustrative works of art that have a unique narrative to them. I hope to make art for a living, have my own online store and table at local festivals. I post my art on Instagram @kriskayart.

Though I am often running a few minutes behind, I am so passionate about feeding my curiosity with education.
Hello everyone! My name is Nawal Samdani, and I am so excited to work for The Preface this semester! I’ve only been working for a few weeks and I already love it. I joined The Preface so I can be more involved on campus and meet more people. So far, I’ve met some amazing people through and hope to meet more in the future. I also enjoy writing so this job is the perfect fit for me.
