Briah Lumpkins is a senior journalism and sociology double major from Toledo, OH. She joined TMS her first weekend on campus and fell more in love with journalism with every story she wrote.
She’s had the opportunity to intern at two of Ohio’s largest newspapers, The Columbus Dispatch and The Cincinnati Enquirer, where she’s learned from some of the best journalists statewide and uncovered stories important to the communities she served.
After college, she hopes to be a full time features or investigative reporter. Briah wears many hats at TMS. In addition to Managing Editor, she is also the recruitment chair and co-social chair.
Briah loves connecting with the staff and is excited for the school year!
