Dr. Eliza Thorne and Gavin Thorne,

Beatrice Thorne was born to Dr. Eliza Thorne and Gavin Thorne in Halifax, Nova Scotia.  Writing interested her from a young age.  In the freshman year of high school, she took her first journalism class and was quickly hooked.  She rose from reporter to news editor her sophomore year to editor-in-chief her junior and senior year.  Thorne was relentless and brutal as head of the newspaper.  It was here she earned “The Thorn” as her nickname.  Graduating with top honors, she gained acceptance to the University of Missouri.

Education (2376-2380)
