This is Freya - she is a member of The Herd’s Peer Review Team!

"My name is Freya (she/her) and I am a student at the University of Toronto currently in the second year of my linguistics major. I am very interested in learning languages and learning about other cultures. I also enjoy creative writing, including both prose and poetry. I love volunteering as a peer reviewer for the Herd Archive because it gives students a voice. The Herd is different from other publications because it compensates artists, gives thoughtful peer reviews on each piece, and really makes student artists feel appreciated and heard. My time at the Herd has been really rewarding so far and I enjoy reviewing submissions from all over Canada, especially submissions in the creative writing category."
