Katy Clark, AVT Senior Staff Writer

Katy Clark is an Arts and Entertainment editor.  She joined AVHS journalism in the 2021-2022 school year and is currently a senior. Born in Ohio, Katy has learned lessons in adapting to change as she has moved steadily west, first to the booming area of Dallas Fort Worth, Texas when she was 8 and then to sunny California during the COVID 19 pandemic. She has her family by her side through it all with triplet siblings who she looks up to and her dog, Charlie.

Katy keeps up an active lifestyle with daily runs with her friends, using this time to enjoy the sun, the views and to relieve stress. She also loves to read, her inspiration to join the writing workforce. She loves fantasy books where she can immerse herself into new worlds full of magic and things beyond physical reality. She hopes to become a writer one day, working side by side to bring news to the world while writing a book on the side that can inspire the younger generation.
