Patrick Henslee, Managing Editor
Patrick Henslee is in his third semester at the Rampage, and steps into the role of Managing Editor for the Spring 2020 semester. The 20-year-old is an English major at Fresno City College with plans to transfer to university and double major in comparative literature.
Henslee wasn’t always an English major, and started his time at FCC majoring in journalism. He hoped to become a sportswriter, where he’d try to display the compelling characters and narratives that draw people into sports fandom.
He started at the Rampage in Fall 2019 as a reporter, taking every opportunity he could to write. In Spring, he took on the Sports Editor position with a mission to communicate the most interesting factors in sports to all audiences.
Recently, Henslee decided to instead pursue teaching, where he feels he can make the most difference by helping young people discover who they are and where they fit with others in the world. Despite the transition, he wants to stay involved in the projects taken on at the Rampage.
Henslee also has a part-time job, which he mostly likes because it’s flexible and it pays him money. He spends his free time reading everything he can, watching and playing sports or anything enjoyably competitive, watching all kinds of movies and spending time with his friends, family and loved ones.
He loves new experiences, like traveling to places he hasn’t been, trying foods he’s never tasted and experiencing other peoples’ ways of living. What he most enjoys is a good story, like the ones he hopes to be a part of this semester.
