Kate Davis, Print Co-Editor-in-Chief

Hi! My name is Kate Davis, I'm a Senior, and I'm one of the Co- Editor-in-Chief's of The Dispatch this year! I am so excited to be a part of The Dispatch leadership team and be able to help each and every staff member grow both as a journalist and a person. Additionally, I am looking forward to creating great content about issues important to our student body, as well as continuing to tell the stories of our most interesting students. Outside of newspaper, I am the co-captain of Bowie’s varsity cheer team. In the future, I am planning to major in journalism and hopefully cheer at the collegiate level.
