My name is Nicole Odom and I am a Media and Communications major concentrating in Radio, TV, and Film with a minor in Sociology. I am a Johnson City native, so I have a deep love for Appalachia and its hidden wonders. In my free time, I make jewelry, crochet, and take care of my cats. I am also an activist and have a long-term goal of ending homelessness in our region. I chose Overlooked in Appalachia with the hope that I can help illustrate the many beauties and wonders hidden in these mountains and tell the stories of the people that helped create them.
