Meet the Staff

Emma Ogren

Hey everybody! My name is Emma Ogren, and I am so excited to be the Editor-in-Chief of the Vision this year. I am a senior digital media major with a concentration in journalism and a minor in creative writing. Originally, I am from a tiny town in Wisconsin called Balsam Lake and moved to the beautiful mountains to attend NGU. I have absolutely loved being a part of the Vision and exploring the wonderful stories the people of this campus have to offer. My goal is to continue to give a voice to those who might not have one and tell the stories that might not otherwise get told. I also hope that this is an outlet to share the love of Christ and spread the Gospel. If I am not writing, you can find me drinking coffee, reading romcoms or watching mockumentaries.

Ava Stephens

Hi! My name is Ava Stephens, and I am the News and Features Editor for the Vision. I am a sophomore digital media major with a concentration in journalism at NGU, originally from Greenville, South Carolina. Creativity and storytelling are my passions, and I also create graphics for the Vision, which allows me to use design to help stories stand out and engage readers. When I am not editing or working on graphics, you can usually find me with a coffee in hand, taking a walk or admiring the beautiful mountain sunsets. I am excited to share all your stories this semester and contribute creatively for the glory of God.

I enjoy playing sports, especially basketball, and I am a lifelong fan of the Washington Wizards, Washington Nationals, Washington Capitals and the Baltimore Ravens.

Solomon Palmer

My name is Solomon. I was born in California to a military family, so I never lived anywhere longer than three years. I have traveled across and outside the country and have been inspired by the vastness and endless stories that I could never hope to reach the bottom of. I joined the Vision to hone my journalistic abilities in preparation for documenting the world beyond North Greenville University. My goal this semester is to become a better journalist through the stories I write and characters I interview. I hope through my writing to communicate God’s glory through the vibrancy of people and excellence of my work. 

Laci Jarrell

My name is Laci Jarrell. I am a sophomore strategic communication major here at NGU. I am from Trinity, North Carolina. I am on the Vision because I took Writing for Digital Media last semester and I fell in love with journalistic style writing. My goal with the Vision is to write interesting stories that people love and look forward to reading and improve my journalism skills. I play softball here at NGU; I really do love being a college athlete because it keeps me active and has brought me so many friends. I am also on the media team at NGU which has allowed me to develop media skills that I can use for the rest of my life when I can no longer play softball.

Nate Reckelhoff

My name is Nate and I’m a junior from Camden, South Carolina. I am majoring in digital media and I’m here because I want to learn how to document events better. I enjoy hiking, gaming and driving backroads. Outside of school I work at 7Brew and I do freelance photography. I’ve been to professional soccer games, college football games and hockey games. I also work for the NGU football team as their photographer.

Seth Hilliard

I’m Seth Hilliard and I’m a senior digital media film major from Clayton, North Carolina.  I’m on the Vision staff mainly because I want to see the behind-the-scenes of the Vision. I want to explore news through my own creative outlet and work with others to create news that students can read. I love to sit outside, specifically in the fall, and do literally nothing. Just enjoying the weather, sunsets and nature. I also love hanging out with friends, playing Minecraft and writing in my spare time. A fun fact about me is I have seven siblings, and I was a homeschooled pastor’s kid.

Brady Goldblatt

Hi, my name is Brady Goldblatt and I am a sports writer for the Vision here at North Greenville. I am a junior from Jacksonville, Florida and I’m a digital media major with a sports concentration. I am on the Vision staff because I like talking to new people and learning new things about different sports. My goal for the Vision is to learn new ways to enhance my writing ability and have people enjoy an article when they read it. I love hanging out with my friends and exploring new places. Outside of school I play lacrosse and work as an ocean rescue first responder for Jacksonville beach ocean rescue in the summer.

Aaron Dulaney

I am Aaron Dulaney, and I am a senior digital media major with a sports concentration. I hope to use my degree to become a sports broadcaster and do play-by-play or color commentary for baseball or football. I grew up in Branchville, South Carolina where I played baseball for 13 years and football for 10. I also played football at North Greenville for one year. Outside of school, I enjoy watching sports, Spikeball, chess and playing guitar. Unfortunately, I am both a Dallas Cowboys and South Carolina Gamecocks fan, so if I am bummed from September to December, that’s why. I joined the Vision to strengthen my skills as a sports writer and strengthen my resume.

Jacob Marsh

I am Jacob Marsh and I was born and raised in Albermarle, North Carolina. I am a freshman majoring in digital media with a concentration in sports. I joined the Vision because I did game stories and recaps for my high school my senior year and found I really enjoy it–this way I can continue it and improve my journalistic skills. In my free time I love hiking, listening to music and watching sports.

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
