She graduated from Lawrence County High School in Kentucky and decided to attend Shawnee because of the great education program and friendly environment.

She loves to write creatively and enjoys studying different books for literary analyses the most. In her free time, Katelyn enjoys reading and spending time with her friends and family. This is Katelyn’s second semester writing for The Chronicle, so she hopes that writing for The Chronicle will continue to push her out of her comfort zone. Katelyn also hopes to be able to revisit and expand on her previous articles. Katelyn enjoys writing articles about clubs and events on campus. As well as this, Katelyn likes to write about local events and opportunities in the community.

Having the opportunity to continue writing for the paper is very important to Katelyn because she hopes to continue to meet new people and allow others to have access to the news on campus and the surrounding area.
