A Reflection on Our Year: Giving Thanks With The Baylor Line

Members of The Baylor Line team discuss what they are most thankful for.

In this episode of The Green Room, host Jonathon Platt is joined by members of The Baylor Line team, Kourtney Nering, editor-in-chief; Kassidy Tsikitas, digital editor; and Nina Um, executive assistant to the CEO,  to reflect on the year of growth, change, and gratitude for everything they have learned.  

The Baylor Line team has all experienced big changes in their past year of life. Nering got married and welcomed her baby girl, Suzanna. Tsikitas graduated from Baylor with a B.A. in journalism, got her first job out of college, and officially moved to Texas. Um graduated with her M.A. in communications, moved back to Waco from Houston, and also got her first post-grad role. 

Platt asks about the good, the bad, and the ugly of the past year of life. The time spent together allowed the team to grow closer together and gain a new perspective on this current season. 

Tune in for laughs, life updates, and key takeaways of what we are grateful for. 

We’ll have more new episodes of The Green Room for you every week.
