Tracey Hickey

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

The Name: Tracey Hickey (fine Irish name, less fortunate in America)

The Studious: University of Pittsburgh. Senior. English Writing (Nonfiction) major, Film minor, Women's Studies certificate. Ad hoc Political Outreach Chair for Campus Women's Organization.

The Professional: I write a weekly column for the Pitt News, alternating between mental health advice and more traditional op-eds. I'm currently a community outreach and public relations intern for the ACLU of Pennsylvania, Greater Pittsburgh Regional Office. Last year, I was a blogging intern for the Women's Law Project.

The Myers-Briggs: ENFP – Extroverted, Intuitive, Feeling, Perceiving - like a cross between your hippie art teacher and a golden retriever. Most writers are INFP, so I am perfectly suited to inappropriately dominate the conversation in a writer's group.

The Personal: is political.
