Hey there! I'm Kristine, a senior and the Co-Editor-in-Chief of The Eagle Eye. This is my third year on the staff and I primarily write stories on technology. I love going on adventures, listening to country music and stuffing myself with watermelon. Hopefully, my passion for journalism will land me a job that combines writing, photography and travel.
