My name is Emily Osgood, and I am a fourth year Communication Studies student at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. As I embark on my senior project, I hope to alter the narrative that is currently out there about victims of relationship violence. Throughout my 600 hours volunteering at the Victim Witness Assistance Center as well as my own personal experience, I have come to understand that relationship violence and victimhood are much more complex and difficult than what modern society and media depicts.
