Kate Schneider, Sports Editor

What’s up guys, I’m Kate! I’m a senior and this is my third year writing on Echo. But when I’m not writing I’m usually always at the pool, either practicing or lifeguarding. I’ve been swimming competitively since I was seven and this fall is going to be my last season. I also enjoy listening to music when I’m doing absolutely anything and some of my fav artists are Phoebe Bridgers, Clairo, and Sza. I'm super excited for my final year on Echo!
