Katherine Jolley, Writer
Katherine Jolley is a freshman at East High and just turned fifteen. She was born in Salt Lake City, Utah,
and has lived here ever since. Katherine loves traveling, hanging out with friends, watching movies,
camping, and hiking. Utah is the perfect place for her as she enjoys being outdoors and would choose
being outside instead of inside any day of the week. Katherine chose to be in journalism because she
wants people to enjoy and understand what she writes. Katherine enjoys many sports including cross
country and volleyball. As a freshman, she runs on the varsity team for cross country. She loves being
active, but also when needed she loves to get a bunch of her favorite snacks, cuddle up in a blanket and
watch a movie.
Katherine has one older sister, Eleanor, who is a senior at East High, and is one of the editors in the
journalism class. Even though Eleanor and Katherine fight a lot, they are super close and are best
friends. Family often calls Katherine, “Katy,” and she is very close with all of them. She loves clothes and
definitely has the best style in her family. (Sorry Ella). But Katherine really does love putting outfits
together and creating different looks. In the future, she would love to attend college and some day live
in New York. She dreams of being successful and happy in whatever path she chooses, but hopefully
ending up in a big city because she finds city life more interesting.
Katherine is very lucky that she has been able to travel a lot because of her dad’s job. She’s been all
over the country and even got to go to India for 2 weeks. India was an incredible experience and taught
her a lot about their fascinating culture. She loves making new friends wherever she travels. Katherine
has always felt a strong connection to animals, and she currently has two dogs and two cats. Her parents
are divorced, and she has moved homes a total of 10 times all over Salt Lake City, so she knows her way
around!
