Franki Weddington – Arts & Entertainment Editor

franki Franki loves her job as CL’s A&E Editor, but is also dedicated to her full-time job as a geek. Her favorite nerdy things and activities include: Jeopardy, Scrabble, the Harry Potter and Twilight series, crosswords, her cat and David Bowie in Labyrinth. Franki holds Bachelor’s degrees in English and Journalism from the University of South Florida, and hopes that Matt Grothe’s final year on the Bulls football team is his best yet she can’t lose any more bets to FSU and Miami fans.*

email: franki.weddington@cln.com

*Franki sincerely hopes her bio did not somehow jinx Mr. Grothe’s season.
