Karri Ferron, Copy Editor
Growing up in Mequon, Wisconsin, Karri developed a passion for words by reading anything she could get her hands on. She focused this enthusiasm into a bachelor's degree in magazine journalism and a minor in business at the University of Missouri. While in college, Karri spent a semester studying abroad in London, where she interned at a monthly trade magazine and developed an unusual obsession with proper grammar and punctuation. This fascination with the English language led her to the copy editor position at Astronomy after graduation.

In her spare time, Karri still reads a lot, and could probably spend her savings on magazine subscriptions alone. She is also working to finish all the titles listed in Peter Boxall's 1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die. In addition to reading, Karri enjoys attending sporting events or watching them on TV. She's an avid fan of the Green Bay Packers, Milwaukee Brewers, Wisconsin Badgers, and Mizzou Tigers. Karri also plays the piano and loves to travel, especially to places that have amusement parks.
