Kate Gross, Editor-in-Chief

As a senior, this is Kate’s second year with the Omega and her first year as an Editor-in-Chief. She spends most of her time on the basketball court with the varsity team at DGN, but can always be counted on to write hard-hitting investigative reporting for the Omega. As a proud half of Maeve and Kate’s News Desk, she’s ready to give you all of her unsolicited opinions in their monthly IGTV segments. She loves going to concerts (her favorite so far was Queen) and despite her terrible singing voice, you’ll always find her proudly belting out the lyrics to every song. You can get in touch with Kate through her school email ([email protected]) or by yelling in the general direction of any sushi restaurant.
