My name is Miranda Person. I am a Psychology and Sociology Major. At the end of this fall semester, I will have completed my first year here at Columbia College. In my free time, I love attending live music functions and dancing with my friends--or even solo. I have been a tram driver since the Spring of 2022. I can honestly say that I love my job and that the Special Programs office is my home away from home.
