Picture of Kelsey Winkeljohn
If you couldn’t tell by the red-dyed hair, Kelsey Winkeljohn is a lover of all things colorful and out-of-the-box (pun intended). She graduated from Columbia College in 2023 with a BA in English, where she studied creative writing and minored in communication studies. She now serves as managing editor of COMO Magazine and COMO Business Times, with a particular taste for gourmet features and anything arts-related (food is art, after all). In her free moments, she enjoys reading for her two unnamed book clubs, writing mediocre horror screenplays, and snuggling up with her cattle dog, Jerry.
