About the Contributors
Eleanor Kreitzberg
Eleanor Kreitzberg, Staff Reporter
Junior Eleanor Kreitzberg has lived in Oregon her entire life. Eleanor is involved in many
extracurriculars both inside and outside of school. She participates in theater and is a part of the
swim team and is also the co-president of the FemmeSTEM club. Outside of school, Eleanor takes self
defense and ballroom dance lessons. Eleanor also enjoys reading and hanging out with her
friends.

Eleanor came to La Salle for academics. Her middle school, Gardiner Middle School in Oregon
City was vastly different from La Salle, and adjusting to the change from middle to high school —
especially to a haughty school like La Salle — was a challenge for Eleanor.

In the distant future, Eleanor hopes to attend college internationally either in Canada or
Australia, and she plans on getting a degree in forensic science and criminology. In the near future,
Eleanor hopes to be able to go on a trip with her best friend this summer and is looking forward
to the holidays.

Eleanor has been to Australia, Canada, and almost half of the United States, in the future she
hopes to be able to travel Europe, possibly on a study-abroad program during college.

Senior Kaitlyn Roozen has lived in Portland, Oregon, her whole life, although she has had to move three different times. She enjoys the rainy weather Oregon has to offer because she finds it comforting. Before starting her educational career at La Salle, Kaitlyn attended Saint John the Baptist from preschool all the way through 8th grade. She was inspired to come to La Salle due to the close proximity to her house and the preparation it provides for college. Outside of La Salle, Kaitlyn enjoys playing club soccer, having done so ever since she was in 3rd grade. She also volunteers as often as possible at the Oregon Food Bank. She loves spending time with friends and family outside of school, usually doing various things like shopping or getting food. In the future, she hopes to attend a university on the West Coast, hopefully either in California or Washington. Kaitlyn aims to travel more in the future as well since that is something she has loved doing with her family ever since she was young.
