Josey Trimble Introduction

                                                           

Hello, my name is Josey Trimble. I was born near the small town of Clyde, Kansas and lived on my family’s small farm for about eleven years. For the next seven years I moved around a bit to cities such as Newton, Wichita, and Strong City, and finally Topeka, KS.  

Some of my favorite hobbies include listening to and performing music, spending time with family, playing volleyball, hiking, and traveling. I try to make time for these interests even with a hectic schedule. I currently supervise at Washburn’s Rec Center, hold office in a few on-campus music organizations, sing for a local church and WU music ensembles, and will be starting a new job at the Washburn Review soon.

I originally came to Washburn to study music education with an emphasis in vocal music. After a couple years I realized music education was not the right path for me so I switched to a double major in music and mass media with an emphasis in creative advertising and public relations. Mass media appealed to me because my roommate is a mass media major and I have constantly been interested in the work she was doing in her classes. I also love the number of diverse career opportunities this major can provide. I am excited to keep learning all I can about mass media!
