Rowan Bennetti is a communications senior and Photo Editor on The Muse. After a brief year writing for the publication, Rowan decided to ditch the pen and pursue her passion for photojournalism instead. While battling inevitable senioritis, Rowan hopes to improve her skill set and bring beautiful visuals to the The Muse's pages. When she isn't frantically running around campus for a good picture, Rowan is most likely in the film room. Regardless of where she is, it's safe to say Rowan will have a camera (and no, she will not take your Instagram profile pic).
