Kathryn King is a senior, and this is her first year on the ThisIsYork staff. When she's not participating in theatre or dance at York, she enjoys watching Winona Ryder movies, playing the piano and taking long drives in her car with her closest friends. She's looking forward to being both a reporter and the social media advisor for this upcoming school year!
