Ninety-nine per cent coffee and one per cent nervous anxiety makes up Katrina. She may have only entered the journalism program at King’s because she’d watched a lot of the Gilmore Girls the night before the registration deadline, but she’s pretty sure she’s in the right field now, she thinks. Born and raised in Kingston, Ontario, she spent the summer as a rural reporter for her hometown paper, mostly taking photos of tractor races and fishing excursions. She is now pleased—no, thrilled—to be taking on the role of news editor at the Gazette after many unpaid late nights working to meet the Gazette deadline over the last two years. She is heading into her third year of journalism at King’s doing combined honours with international development studies and apologizes in advance for eating most of the pizza at contributor's meetings.
