Chelseajmartin
I’m a recent college graduate who loves news, politics, great food, sustainable living, and social media! I have a bachelors degree in political science and public relations and hope to obtain a higher degree in political science or public policy.
I’m always on the look out for new recipes, or creating my own, great news articles, snapping some cool shots, and delving into new projects like raising suburban chickens.
I can’t help but be slightly obsessed with Google, especially my Google Reader, and find that Del.ic.ous helps me keep all the great stuff I find organized. Because I have a real passion for food, and love to eat out Yelp has become my best friend.
