Madalyn Edwards

My name is Madalyn Edwards, and I am a student at Appalachian State University. I hope to graduate as an undergrad in 2025 and pursue my master’s through App’s 4+1 accelerated program. I am majoring in English with a concentration in professional writing and minoring in communication with a focus on journalism.

I am currently the Associate News Editor for The Appalachian, App State’s student news organization. During my time with The Appalachian, I have learned how to collaborate with peers, structure, write, and edit news stories, interview members of the community, and meet strict deadlines.

I am also a contributor for Surry Living Magazine, a local lifestyle magazine focused on the people and places in Surry County, North Carolina.
