Marla Keown

Marla grew up in Topeka, and she recently returned from Fort Meade, Md., where she studied Army-style journalism. In her training, she learned writing, design and photography; when her training was complete, she became assistant photo editor for the 24-page newspaper her class produced in two days.

A non-traditional student, Marla can be found on campus attending class and taking photos for The University Daily Kansan. She plans to graduate this spring and blogs at web.mac.com/camrafem.
