Kailin Quatela, Staff Reporter
Kailin Quatela is in 11th grade and moved to Oregon in 2013 from the mountains of Flat Rock, North Carolina, which she visits every summer.
Being raised in the mountains encouraged her to love spending time outdoors, whether it be hiking close by or road-tripping to explore new places. She brings her digital camera everywhere in hopes to capture candids of people or pretty shots of nature.
Outside of school, you can find her doing homework, spending time with her favorite people, and always listening to music.
Kailin indulges in many music genres, a few of her current favorite artists being, The Backseat Lovers, Role Model, Noah Kahan, Gracie Abrams, Lizzy McAlpine, and Tyler, The Creator.
Her interest in photography and meeting new people ignited an interest to join Journalism. She is currently in her first semester of the class, with a focus on improving her camera work and photojournalism. She’s excited to continue Journalism until she graduates, making connections and developing her style through her content.
Although she doesn’t know much about what she wants to do in the future, she hopes to attend college in Oregon, and continue to be the best version of herself she can be.
