Penn State’s ‘Swaggy Jo’
Jovuann Warren, a Penn State junior majoring in earth sciences, has big dreams of becoming a musical superstar.
While balancing school and working at the Family Clothesline in Downtown State College, Warren finds that it is more important to run after your dreams rather than to sit around waiting for them to happen. While working at the clothesline, Warren pays for student sessions from the money he makes there.
