Kathleen Waldron is currently a junior. Throughout the course of her life, she has attended only two schools and has lived in Portland since she was born.

Despite her love for her hometown, she dreams of the day when she can be independent in college and live in a bigger city like Chicago or New York.

Kathleen loves to listen to music and is particularly a large fan of Lauryn Hill, The Internet, Rihanna, and of course Drake. Music has always been a prominent part of her life as she can’t remember a time her dad was not blasting music from the kitchen. She gives credit to her dad for instilling a love of music in her.

If Kathleen could travel anywhere in the world, she would go to Switzerland during Christmas time because of how magical it looks.

Outside of school, she is either hanging out with friends or working at her job, Tea and Tea.
