Kate Nichols, Lead Podcast Editor
Kate Nichols, a junior at AHS, is one of the lead editors of the AHS Needle Podcast, The Point. Nichols has been involved in journalism for two years and joined because it “seemed interesting” and she loved having Ms.Berryhill as a teacher in freshman English. Last year in journalism Nichols wrote a few stories including: “Seniors’ Advice to Underclassmen,” “Under the Influence,” and “The Pink Tax.” Nichols said her favorite part of journalism last year was making an ad for the local business, Your Forte. She encourages others to join journalism because you are able to “go at your own pace” and you don’t get a lot of direction so you are able to be creative in your own way. This year in journalism she looks forward to “reviving” The Point podcast since many people haven’t heard about it.
Outside of journalism, Nichols loves to paint, bake, and cook. She occupies a lot of her spare time reading, as that is one of her favorite activities. When she grows up she hopes to go to college to become a forensic anthropologist. For her junior year she is looking forward to getting through another positive school year.
