Oakley Burt, Arts Editor

Oakley Burt is the Arts Editor at The Daily Utah Chronicle. She’ll graduate with a B.S. in Communication with an emphasis in Journalism and a minor in Political Science in May 2021. Oakley has always had a strong love for the arts, especially music and film — you can always find her talking about the latest album or movie. She joined the Arts Desk in 2019 to further explore her interests within the art world through writing. Oakley hopes to write for Rolling Stone, or host her own radio show for Beats 1 on Apple Music someday!
