Catrina want to be able to contribute a lot in the news room. She is very passionate about writing the next best story. She loves to hear contradicting  views from people because she enjoys debate. She likes to know different sides of the story to better understand it and to maybe make her own opinion, but of course to never show it in her writing.

3 Things to Know

1. Future Athletic Trainer

Helping others: Catrina wants to have the ability to help someone recover from an injury as soon as possible to see them get back into playing the game that they love. For some time now, she has been looking into the kinesiology field. At first she wanted to be a physical therapist, but then she sat herself down and found that she would feel more comfortable and content working as an athletic trainer instead. Catrina works with Trainer Lindsay Frederick at West Leyden and hopes to contribute as much as possible.

2. Committed to Excellence

Staying Involved: A member of two honors societies, captain of the varsity soccer team, and recipient of a Fern Award, Catrina has had the ability to become someone that she has always wanted to be: someone ahead of the game. Catrina always worked hard when she was in junior high, but she now knows how to go above and beyond without stressing out too much. She is proud of who she has become at Leyden and hopes to prosper even more during her senior year.

3. Blood is Thicker than Water

Family forever: Being the baby in a family of seven, Catrina has a pretty close relationship with all of her family members. With three brothers and one sisters, she has experienced plenty of sibling rivalry. But with all the siblings over the age of 21, she doesn’t see them often and is now basically living the life of an only child. She has a wonderful, caring mother and a Dad who is her best friend. From hunting and fishing to making pizzas in their backyard, her family is together a lot.
