Meet the Staff

Samantha Meyeres

Hi! My name is Samantha Meyeres and I am the Editor-in-Chief of the Vision this year. I am a senior digital media – journalism major with a passion for sharing the light of Christ through writing. I grew up in a small town in Minnesota but now live in Greer, South Carolina. I love being a part of the Vision and the platform that it has given me to develop journalistic skills and grow in confidence in writing and editing. You can usually find me studying at a local coffee shop or walking on the Swamp Rabbit Trail. I love to spend time with friends and at the end of the day, enjoy a good book. My goal this year as Editor-in-Chief is to use the Vision to tell the stories of NGU in a way that shows the love of God and furthers the gospel. I can’t wait to see where the Lord leads!

Treasure Hardwick

Hey friends! I’m the News and Feature Editor for NGU Vision Media, which basically means I get to write, edit and share some of the coolest stories on campus! I’m a junior majoring in digital media with a concentration in journalism, and I love connecting with people through storytelling. I grew up in Charleston, SC, so the beach is one of my favorite places. Fun fact: I’m one of 11 kids and right in the middle of the chaos. I also have seven nieces and nephews. When I’m not writing, you’ll probably find me at a coffee shop, road tripping somewhere with a pretty view or soaking up sunshine. I am so excited to share your stories this semester.

Blythe Barrineau

Hey! My name is Blythe Barrineau and I am the Sports Editor and Visual Arts Editor for The Vision this semester! I am a senior Digital Media major with a sports concentration originally from Lexington, South Carolina. I have always loved sports and learned that I also have a passion for writing while in middle school. When I’m not writing, you can find me hanging out with my friends and family, drinking a cup of coffee, watching a football game or spending time with my two dogs. I am excited to get to work with this amazing staff and combine two of my passions, sports and writing.

Riley Belle Kinard

Hi! I’m Riley Belle and I am from the small town of Lyman, South Carolina. I am currently a Junior at North Greenville University as a digital media major with a minor in public relations. I am so excited that I get to be a part of the Vision staff again this year taking the role as the social media manager. Previously, you may have seen me walking around campus with a camera taking pictures and asking you a quick question. You will still find me occasionally with a camera, but now I may ask you to smile for an Insta story or a picture to post on The Vision Media socials. I enjoy taking pictures and getting to capture memories throughout our time here at NGU. If you see me around, I’m probably drinking a cup of iced coffee, hanging out with friends, and enjoying getting to be a part of a campus as special as NGU. I am excited to see how the Lord is going to use my gifts to tell your stories through photos, posts, and digital creations.

Katie Beth Bostic

Hi! I am Katie Beth, and I am a graphic artist for The Vision Media. I am a Senior Strat Comm major. I grew up in Powdersville, South Carolina, with my 3 dogs. I love everything dancing and One Direction. My life is glorifying Christ in all that I do, and my purpose is to make Him known. I am so excited to be on The Vision Media this year, and I can’t wait to see how the Lord moves.

Andrew Copp

I’m Andrew Copp and this is my first semester writing for the Vision. I am a proud Coloradan and love to do all things outdoors: hiking, camping, fishing, golfing, beach volleyball, anything to get out in the sun. I joined the Vision because I have a passion for the truth, I want people’s voices to be heard, and I hope to make a change through the channel of journalism (I needed a practicum credit). Other than my undying passion for writing, I am a member of the men’s volleyball team, a diehard fan of the Denver Nuggets, Colorado Buffaloes, Colorado Avalanche and the Seattle Seahawks.

Emma Ogren

Hey everybody! My name is Emma Ogren, and I am so excited to join the staff and be writing for the Vision! I am a sophomore digital media major with a concentration in journalism. I am originally from a tiny town in Wisconsin called Balsam Lake and moved to the beautiful mountains to attend NGU. My goal with the vision is to explore our campus and the wonderful people who are a part of it. Everyone has a story to tell, and I am ready to be part of an outlet to tell those stories. If I am not writing, I am drinking coffee, reading romcoms or watching mockumentaries.

Nevaeh Pereira

My name is Nevaeh Pereira and I am a photographer for the Vision. I am from Asheville, NC. Eventually I would love to work in the broadcasting field and joining this team will give me the feel of what it is like being a field of news media where its foundation is built on Christ. I run track and field, sing, hike, draw and play the piano a little bit. My family had a big influence on my life with being in the media. My great grandpa was T.W Wilson who was Billy Graham’s right-hand man. I want to do what my Granddaddy and Uncle Billy did but wholeheartedly put God first in everything I do. I want to be a news anchor one day and continue my public speaking career.

Micah Webster

Greetings, internet traveler! You have journeyed long and reached the bio of one of the new staff writers for the Vision, Micah Webster! I am a junior majoring in Strategic Communication and I’m from… a lot of places. As a missionary kid, I lived in East Asia and the Middle East, but stateside I’m from Durham, NC. I’m all about understanding people and how we communicate, and journalism is a part of that. The biggest reason I’m writing for the Vision is because I want to grow in my journalistic ability and learn new skills that challenge me. However, while I love studying communication, I’m also a bit of a closet English major, and I love reading and writing. From Tolkien to Poe and Kipling to Edwards, I love literature, and I’m passionate about writing stories that honor God and reflect His beauty on earth. I’m excited to see how this semester plays out!

Karyn Campbell

I love working with the talented photographers, writers and graphic designers on the Vision staff as I watch them develop their skills and gifts.  It is wonderful to see them grow as creators through the work they produce for The Vision.  In fact, the Vision staff have consistently garnered awards for their work through both state and national organizations and I can’t wait to see how they are recognized this year. I have been the Vision’s adviser since its inception in 2014 and I hope to continue for many years to come.  If you are interested in joining us on this exciting website, shoot me an email: kcampbell@ngu.edu
