This is Andrea Hickerson's Fedora user page.

Andrea is a professor of journalism at RIT. Courses that she teaches include Newswriting, Political Reporting, Law and Ethics of the Press.

She is interested in educating journalists who are equipped to deal with the way journalism changes as new and more diverse publishing technologies get developed and become more and more common. She is looking for ways in which her students can write for FOSS related forums. In order to learn more about that and make connections with people interested in similar things she attended a POSSE (Professors Open Source Summer Experience) at RIT in 2010 and one at Red Hat in Raleigh in 2011.

Andrea likes running and has 5-toed shoes which are supposed to make you feel as if you are running barefoot (without the pain when stepping on sharp stones, I guess). She says they are comfortable. She also likes reading and playing board games.
