Hi! I’m Kate, a junior, and it’s my second year on staff! I’m excited to be one of the managing editors and feature editors for the paper this year and continue to tell the stories of Bowie students! I love writing about people’s unique experiences and talents, especially in regards to athletics. I hope we as a staff can continue to produce informational and engaging content for the Bowie community. Additionally, I’m the junior co captain of the varsity cheer team, and in my spare time I enjoy hiking and hanging out with my friends. I’m passionate about the creation of honest media and news, and hope to continue to pursue journalism in college and beyond.
