This is junior Kate Haney’s second year on the JAG yearbook staff and will be taking on the positions of both Mill Valley News editor-in-chief and JAG copy editor. When not in C-101, you can probably find her participating in NHS, NEHS, and SNHS or hanging out with the Mill Valley swim team. Outside of school, you can catch her working, rereading and obsessing over her favorite fantasy novels, stressing over her homework, watching her comfort movies or fangirling with her younger sister about their favorite celebrities.
