My name is Kate Meretsky, and I am a first year staff writer. I choose to join writing for publication because I enjoy writing in my free time, and expressing my many thoughts. Specifically, I am interested in writing both news and opinion articles. Additionally, some intriguing facts about me are that I play varsity softball, basketball, and I have 2 pet cats. Going forward this year, I am excited about executing my interest in writing publicly, and I enjoy glazed donuts from the donut cutter.
