Kaitlyn Albertson, Arts and Entertainment Editor

My name is Kaitlyn Albertson, and I’m a senior. I joined Knight Life this year because I’ve always loved writing and I thought it would be a good way to increase my skills and improve as a writer. Outside of the newspaper, I love rock climbing, playing video games, and exploring cool places with my friends.
