Editor In Chief: Katy Kappele- editor@whatcomhorizon.com

I am a 5′6″ Caucasian female from the Pacific Northwest.  I was born in Colorado, moved to Kentucky when I was three, and when I was in the second grade, we moved to Anacortes.  I went to Mount Baker High School, where I worked for the Summit.

My hobbies include reading and writing, both fiction and non-fiction.  I am currently writing a historical fantasy novel about the Gallic Wars.  I also enjoy hiking and ice skating, and I play hockey (badly).  I also enjoy pointing out mistakes and arguing for the unpopular side, which makes me think I would make a good defense attorney. 

My favorite teams are the Vancouver Canucks and the Carolina Hurricanes, and I like to make fun of my “namesake” Hurricane Katrina.  I have a Carolina Hurricanes T-shirt with “Katrina 05″ on the back. 

I think men look good in kilts, I love Romanian techno music, and I have never seen Dancing with the Stars, Survivor, or American Idol.  I love to challenge the status quo and peoples’ stifled ways of thinking.  I admire law, rules and efficiency, and am particularly impressed when laws and rules are actually followed and enforced!

I’m a student, a loyal friend, a writer, a world traveler, a Three Musketeers addict, a workaholic, a spelling Nazi, a serious face with a spazzy personality, a media lover, a fast-walker, an observer, and a Horizon Editor.  I’ve been on the Horizon staff since Fall quarter 2010 and am currently the Online Editor and Advertising Manager.  I obviously enjoy it.
