Howdy! I’m Katya, a senior and third-year USJ member. I love writing, reading, space, and science, and I’m super excited to continue working with the USJ as A&E editor and Design Editor. When I’m not doing things for school, you can find me rock climbing, watching movies, or mediocrely playing a handful of instruments.
