Associate Features Editor
Jacqueline Kamel
Class of 2012
Jacqueline Kamel is a 20 year old Salem State sophomore. As a Theater turned English major, Jacqueline has been writing for The Log since Fall of 2008, usually doing health articles and theater reviews, and this semester, answering life's toughest questions. Unsure of her future, Jacqueline is extremely fickle, and has concentrated on both Theater, Creative Writing, and Secondary Ed. in her past three semesters. Her obvious disdain for Salem State stems from the fear of being here for the rest of her life. Other than acting and writing, she enjoys playing the piano and has held jobs as a tourguide and ice cream truck driver. She's from the South Shore, and dreams of moving to Chicago, despite all the obvious crime. She has a good heart, which is masked by a sarcastic tone of voice. She loves polar bears, and the Kennedys, and secretly wishes to live the life of Carrie Bradshaw.
