Chloe Updike, Staff Writer
Chloe Updike is a sophomore in Journalism 2 who enjoys telling informative stories and learning through hands-on reporting. One of her favorite projects was a story about CPR, where she interviewed the school nurse, students, and Health teacher Molly O’Hara. She said the project stood out because “it was a learning experience for me, and I was also able to make it into an informational story for others.” Updike is especially interested in interviewing, photography, and sharing stories, and she is excited to explore options like social media or yearbook in the future.
Outside the classroom, Updike is passionate about football and cheer, and is also involved in dance. In her free time, she enjoys doing her nails, coloring, shopping, and spending time with friends. She values family and friends most, saying they are “always there to support me.” Updike was inspired to join journalism by her cousin Makynzie Steffens and her friend Payton Burg, who encouraged her interest in writing and photography.
