Maura Vananzo
Maura Vananzo is a junior at Loyola University New Orleans, born and raised in Baltimore, Maryland, and is attempting to complete her Advertising major and English/Spanish minors. When she's not being laughed at by her Latina roommates for her terrible Spanish accent, she's engrossed in her infinite amount of TV shows, gawking over Beyonce's perfection or writing with her comedy partner in crime (Stull). She's a lover of rap music and believes Jay-Z and Tyler, The Creator speak directly to her soul.
