Introducing Haley Myrick: A New Writer for the Chicks

Hi everyone!

My name is Haley Myrick, and I’m so excited to join the Chicks on the Right team as a writer.

Just to give you a little background about myself, I work in healthcare marketing by day, and by night I run my own small marketing business.

I grew up in rural Illinois where I was homeschooled until I was 16. I then attended public school until graduation. While both experiences were great, I can wholeheartedly say my mom will always be the best teacher I’ve ever had.

I graduated from Blackburn College with a degree in Communications. Blackburn is a small work college which allowed me to work and gain management experience while studying. Working through college also helped cut down on my student loan debt BECAUSE I WAS BEING RESPONSIBLE. So, it was a win-win overall. #GoBeavers.

While on campus I was the editor-in-chief of the college newspaper, and the sole conservative on staff. As you can imagine, my op-eds were a real hit with the faculty.

Once I entered the professional world, I noticed I slowly began to let myself be silenced. I stopped voicing my opinions and started to steer clear of arguments. I lost a big part of who I am. I’ve always been a writer at heart and loved politics. Being able to get back to those two things by working alongside the Chicks is something that couldn’t have come at a better time. I’m ready to start being bold again.  

Outside of work, my favorite thing to do is hang out with my husband, Alex, whenever I can. He’s very quiet, and I’m very not quiet, so it works out well.

In addition to my hairy husband, I also have a dog named Bradley Pooper and a cat named Hugo Clawvez. Hugo is very fat. And Brad is roughly five years of age but has a face as old as time. 

A fun fact about me is that my appendix has tried to kill me on multiple occasions. However, I like to consider the experience a major character-building opportunity.

Stay classy, and I look forward to (hopefully) entertaining you all.
