Hello, I am Jonah Hale, and I am a Senior at Olivet studying Film Studies. I was born in Columbus, Ohio, moved to Grand Forks, North Dakota when I was four years old, and that is where home has been ever since. While attending Olivet, I also work at the Brickstone Brewery not far from campus. Aside from my major, I enjoy learning about animals and how unique they are.
