Hello everyone! My name is Kaylah Josue, and I am a videographer for the CHAT. I am a senior, and this is my first year with the newspaper.

Outside of this, I play flag football and I have been on the school varsity team since 8th grade. Moreover, this experience will be a great opportunity for me throughout the year, and I can’t wait to see the creative projects I can develop!
