Brian Yermal

Senior / Print Journalism

I’m currently finishing my last semester at Penn State University.  Most of my time is spent working as a copy editor at “The Daily Collegian,” where I proof stories and create pages.  In my spare time, I’m as far away from a computer as possible, whether I’m hiking, bike riding, walking, fishing or taking photography (also outdoors).  After graduation, I would enjoy writing nature stories about the thousands of trails that are often overlooked in the glorious mountains of Pennsylvania.  I also have an interest in local history and would like to write stories or possibly a book about the history and/or folklore of the region I will be working in.
