Phoebe Vrable is a senior journalism major with a passion for creative problem solving, telling stories that matter and all things food. If you can’t find her, she’s probably in the kitchen.  Like many of my PNW enthusiast coworkers, I’ve also spent a large portion of my life a couple hours north of Seattle in a semi-incognito location known as Whidbey Island. Before moving to Washington, I lived in Massachusetts where I was born and raised in my wee years. Both states still have a grip on my heart, so I guess you could say that I fell in love with both the big city and the small town life. Curiously, the combination of these two worlds has been valuable.  I’ve always enjoyed creatively experimenting with different types of content, especially on the web. People’s stories are also very meaningful to me. It’s my conviction that words are a gift, and it’s my joy and privilege to work for the Chimes this semester to bring light and clarity to the stories that surround us in silence– waiting to be voiced.
