A Running Start: Rebecca Bregman takes the Newsroom

A soccer star by day and a poet by night, Rebecca Bregman ’14 craves motion. If she is not running on the field, she is capturing movement in her writing.

Few know about her passion for poetry, as it is her most personal form of expression. However, she immersed herself amongst poets this past summer in Tennessee while in a writing program. Much of her inspiration comes from her spontaneous personality and “sporadic” mindset.

Although her ideas may fly, she is used to the chase. As necessary in sports, “you have to learn how to deal with different situations. You have to be creative—find your own solutions,” Bregman said.

This year, Bregman will juggle more than just soccer balls. A newcomer to Advanced Journalism, this staff writer hopes to strengthen her column writing, as well as develop her design and layout. She is eager to take the skills she has acquired as a life-long athlete and apply them to the newsroom.
