Hello! I’m Katz, a Sophomore here at Doherty Memorial High School, and I’d love to share a bit about myself to you!
I’m a Staff Writer & Editor for Highlander’s Herald and I joined because I want to continue building my college resume to hopefully become a future appellate attorney. Fun facts about me are I’m an Aquarius & Paisa (Colombian)! Through the Upward Bound Program, I’ve done a short internship at the Worcester County Poetry Association! I am a part of a Chapter 74 program, Programming and Web Development. I am also currently a Dohery Powerlifter, Student Council Representative, and a Co-President for Doherty’s Mock Trial as well.
Extracurriculars I’ve joined in the past were Robotics, Pickleball, Arts & Crafts, a Mathletes Competition, Mock Appeal, Mock Trial, Spoken Poetry and of course, the Highlander’s Herald ! I’ve also volunteered at Bancroft School supervising kids on Saturdays and participated in their summer programs for four summers! In my free time, I enjoy crocheting, painting, sketching, playing Roblox, and listening to music.
My ultimate goal through writing for Highlander’s Herald is to give students here at DMHS a chance to be heard on their opinions, while also providing readers with entertaining articles to indulge in! Through my work and experiences, I hope to motivate you to pursue your future endeavors, whatever they may be. I’m looking forward to hearing your critiques on my work! Please feel free to email me!
