Amber Colón, Editor-in-Chief

Amber is the Editor-in-Chief at The DePaulia. When she’s not working or in class, you can find her binge-watching The Office or napping in her Edgewater apartment. Beware: if you see her with coffee or high heels, she’s probably on a mission. By the way, her big three are Pisces, Scorpio and Leo. Follow her on Twitter @ambermcolon
