Katelyn Palarchio is a sophomore at Utica High, and it is her first year as a reporter on the 2025-2026 newspaper staff. She finds joy in creative writing, biking, walking, and reading. She joined the staff so she could transform her writing into something other people can read and enjoy. Katelyn was Newspaper Editor in 8^th grade for her private school and takes delight in helping with young kids in her church. She hopes to further her knowledge into journalism, publication, and press. Her biggest wish is that people will find relatability, humor, and entertainment in her work.
