Anna Pope was an intern at KOSU between May 2021 to May 2022.
Born and raised in Oklahoma, Anna is a senior at Oklahoma State University where she majors in multimedia journalism. Anna is also a 2021 Community Fellow with the Inasmuch Foundation.
In addition to her studies and extracurricular activities, she is a reporter for the university’s newspaper, The O’Colly, and will be its news editor in the fall of 2021.
Although her interests include arts and culture, she is passionate about environmental, educational, social, political and rural issues.
