Claire Kyllonen, Assistant Editor

Claire is a senior and an assistant editor on the LHS Roar staff. She is the Co-President of Mu Alpha and an AP Ambassador. Claire is also involved in NHS, Pals and Quill & Scroll. After high school, Claire hopes to attend a college with a good journalism program, and she’d like to make a living out of Journalism. During her freshman year, Claire entered a writing contest and learned to love writing. After starting out in Journalism 1, she decided to pursue Newspaper. She enjoys creative writing along with feature writing because she enjoys getting to know people. Something not very many people know about Claire, is that she has dual citizenship in the United States and Finland. Claire hopes to give experience, advice and wisdom among many other things to the Newspaper staff.
