Catherine Arellano, Editor-In-Chief

Hi! My name is Catherine and I am Editor-in-Chief of the Falconer. I am a senior this year, and this is my third year with The Falconer! In addition to the newspaper, I am a member of NHS. I love baking, shopping, listening to music, and gardening. I enjoy watching movies and TV, and right now I’m watching "Better Call Saul". I’m very excited to start another year with The Falconer!
