Catherine Jara, Staff Reporter
Aloha! My name is Catherine Jara, I’m a senior, and this is my first year on the Ka Mō‘ī staff. Last year, I was the club section editor on the Ka Na‘i Aupuni staff, but I switched over to newspaper because I wanted to step outside of my comfort zone and explore more of my writing skills. However, yearbook gave me a lot of good design and communication skills, so I have a unique experience with publications.
Currently, my goal is to major in International Relations, because a program I went to this past summer sparked my passion for culture and global studies. Although I’m not planning to major in Journalism, I feel like the skills I gain from newspaper, such as being able to conduct an interview and strategically communicate my ideas, will be useful for the direction I want to go in. I’m also involved in National Honors Society, KEY Club, and Dog & Cat Huggers.
