Sophomore Kayah Cieslak has lived in Oregon all her life, living a majority of it in Northeast Portland and other households across the state.

Other than helping out in The Falconer, she loves to read and write in her leisure time. Her favorite authors include Kurt Vonnegut and Franz Kafka, meanwhile her all-time prevailing favorite childhood book is “The Little Prince”.

Her music taste spans vast, but artists she currently enjoys are The Malefactors, Mitski, Elliot Smith, and Malice Mizer.

She especially loves going out to eat with her mom after school or during the weekend, which feels like a unique love language as the two can always try new things together. But know that nothing will ever beat her mom’s cooking.

In the future, she hopes to study abroad and spend more time visiting her family outside of the country in Poland and Indonesia whilst getting a better gist of her parents’ native languages in order to decrease the language barrier with relatives.
