Photo Editor and entertainment blogger Taylor Balkom is a 21-year-old mass communication junior from Baton Rouge. This is his sixth semester at the Reveille, where he's managed to amaze everyone with his power to fix the staff's iPhones by turning them off then back on. Seriously, it's not that hard. Other than photography, his interests include tech, tacos, the Twins and alliteration. He is not a fan of watching people take pictures with iPads. 

Radio Director Natalie Guccione is a 20-year-old mass communication junior from New Orleans. This is her fifth semester at the Reveille. She has a 3-pound Yorkshire terrier who lurks around the newsroom and doubles as a news reporter. She has her own radio news show on Sundays called Reveille Weekend. She may have been called the "Fairy Princess of the Newsroom". She drinks lots of coffee and enjoy discussing the irrelevant plights of celebrities. She was also a stringer for the Associated Press on election night.

Production Managing Editor Kirsten Romaguera is a 22-year-old mass communication senior from The Woodlands, Texas. In her six-semester-long Reveille career, she has served as the paper's production editor and a copy editor. She doesn't do New Year's resolutions, but if she did, she would be sure to use her kitchen to make some "real" food before she graduates.

Managing Editor Emily Herrington is a 21-year-old mass communication junior from Metairie. This is her fifth semester at The Reveille, where she has served as managing editor, news staff writer and contributor, entertainment writer and copy editor. When she's not hiding from the sunlight in the basement of Hodges Hall, she enjoys eating frozen dinners while reading the AP Stylebook for fun. 

Opinion editor Chris Grillot is a 21-year-old mass communication senior from New Orleans. He is working his sixth and final semester at the Reveille. When not editing, he enjoys researching emerald cockatiels while drinking a robust glass of Franzia Cabernet Sauvignon. Not only does Chris' feisty writing bring pizzaz to any publication, his taste in denim is to die for. He recently brought the Canadian tuxedo back from the fashion doldrums under the auspice of "Denim Springs."

Associate Production Editor Carli Thibodeaux is a 20-year-old mass communication junior from Midland, La. This is her fifth semester with the Reveille, and she spent the previous four working as a copy editor. She loves telling stories, Diet Dr. Pepper with lemon, southern culture and dancing on her own. She also really loves Olivia Benson from SVU. Associate Production Editor Kevin Thibodeaux is a 21-year-old mass communication junior from Lafayette. He interned with The Times-Picayune and has worked with both The Advocate and 225 Magazine. He loves naps, cats and snacks (in that order), prefers green apples over red and has seen "21 Jump Street" 37 times.

External Media Managing Editor Bryan Stewart is a 21-year-old liberal arts senior from Belle Chasse, La. This is his sixth and final semester at the Reveille, where he previously worked as a staff videographer and Multimedia Editor. Though for a film major, he barely has time to watch films. Instead he spends that time fine-tuning his Pandora stations, lurking sports forums, and wandering the aisles of Best Buy as he prepares to splurge.

Entertainment and Deputy News Editor Brian Sibille is a 20-year-old mass communication junior from Lafayette. He is starting his third year at the Reveille after four semesters writing and editing news. His spare time is mostly consumed by listening to music that many people roll their eyes at or think sounds like cats fighting. Also sleep and TV and Breaking Bad. From best to worst: naps/snacks, space.

Multimedia Editor Alix Landriault is a 20-year-old mass communication sophomore from Natchitoches, La. This is her third semester at the Reveille, and her second as Multimedia Editor. If she had time outside of school and the Reveille, she would enjoy camping, martial arts, and snuggling with her ten animals.

Deputy Sports Editor Alex Cassara is a 22-year-old mass communication senior from New Orleans in his fourth semester with the Daily Reveille, where he's written about sports in several capacities. He's also interviewed Olympians and alleged bounty hunters for his hometown newspaper, The Times-Picayune, as a summer staffer. While he's had stories about Catholic conferences and blimp pilots printed, games are his specialty: football games, video games, Wicked Games, etc. Pizza and playoff losses by the Falcons also make him happy. 

Sports Editor Albert Burford is a 21-year-old mass communication senior from Louisville, Ky. This will be his fifth and final semester at the Reveille. His interests include free stuff, Casual Fridays and being "based."

Editor-in-Chief Andrea Gallo is a 20-year-old political communication junior and Lafayette native who's convinced that wherever she goes, breaking news follows. This is her fifth semester at the Reveille, and she has previously been a news staff writer, the news editor and has one semester of being Editor-in-Chief under her belt. Some of her best journalism memories include sleeping in the Reveille newsroom during Hurricane Isaac and interning at The Sacramento Bee last summer. She frequently imagines the day when she will become best friends with Anderson Cooper.

News Editor Clayton Crockett is a 21-year-old international studies senior from Lafayette, and during his four semesters at the Reveille he has worked as opinion columnist, staff news writer and opinion editor. When he's not frantically micromanaging his eclectic staff of college reporters, Clayton is either playing guitar, watching Planet Earth or brushing up on his Arabic. He thoroughly looks forward to having time for none of these this semester.
