Shayna Nicolay

I’m a fourth-year journalism student at Ryerson University in Toronto who is passionate about learning the stories of people around me. I am currently the editorial intern for Fashion Fundamentals and the Editor-in-Chief of Ryerson Folio magazine. In the little free time I have, you can usually find me on a walk in downtown Toronto parks, cooking my favourite recipes, or watching (probably too much) TV. You can also find me on Instagram @heyyits_shay.

In my free time, I enjoy cooking, binge-watching reality tv shows, listening to music on Spotify or relaxing with friends. My career goal is to either become a fashion writer for a for women, by women magazine or a sports broadcaster for a sports channel. Yes, I know two total opposites. 🙂
