Patty L. Walsh has been a political junkie since she was a child. She currently attends UNLV as a Senior, and is majoring in Political Science with emphasis on International Relations; along with a minor in Communications. She has written for The Las Vegas Review-Journal, Las Vegas Mercury, Las Vegas Tribune, Las Vegas CityLife, The UNLV newspaper, and currently is a freelance journalist for Greenspun Media Group. She also is a Production Assistant and DJ for KUNV 91.5 FM in Las Vegas. Walsh intends to become an international correspondent, and has many qualms with the media (except for BBC and Reuters, most of the time). She speaks two different languages, and has attended DefCon since DC10, where she wrote about the media misconceptions of hackers as an intern for the Las Vegas Mercury.
