The Proofreaders are the awesome people who put in work behind the scenes to ensure that no spelling errors or typos are included in our final articles. With so many of Portrait's team being so young, these mistakes would often feature in final articles without our proofreaders!

Hey I'm Terran! Music is my life, and I like pretty much every kind of music out there, except for most rap. I always share the bands that I find with my friends, so I thought being a reviewer would be an awesome way to share those bands with even more people. I love going to concerts, and I go to them way more than I can afford to. I run 2 street teams for a couple musicians, and I'm a member of 3 others. I also love to read and bake.

I'm a college student working on a degree in History and English. I absolutely love to write, have published one book, "Dream Peddler" last year, and I'm working on more. I'm a big reading buff and consider Dracula to be my favorite book. I'm always editing my friends' papers so proofreading is the perfect place for me. My goals are to become a published enough writer that I don't have to work a normal job and can travel the world. Otherwise, I'm pretty much a walking contradiction. I love sports and superhero movies but could spend hours in a Sephora. Musically, my favorite bands are The Who, The Clash, Green Day, Oasis and Blink 182. However, you'll usually find McFly, Bruce Springsteen, or Jonas Brothers in my cd player. Mostly, I firmly believe that if you're going to be a fan of something or someone...you should go all out! Life is way too short to never get ridiculously excited about something you love.
