Madison Kalia, more commonly known as “MK,” is a transfer to Delta State University from Hinds Community College. MK served The Delta Statement last semester as a very dedicated copy editor and the author of several noteworthy articles. Currently, she is a junior and is majoring in English with a creative writing concentration and is “double minoring” in literature and history. When she isn’t working on an assignment, hanging out with friends, or writing poetry, she enjoys watching Netflix. Her favorite series on Netflix right now is How to Get Away with Murder. MK also enjoys playing with her dog, Kal-El, and is learning to appreciate cats as well, but wishes that it was easier to gain their confidence. Her favorite author is April Genevieve Tucholke, a fairly new writer who immediately clicked with MK.  When asked what her most valuable words of advice are, she answered, “Fact check, and do your homework.”
