Kaitlin Ryan '22 hails from rural Ohio and carries a dream of working as a copywriter. She has been writing her entire life, so joining The Carroll News her freshman year just made sense. Four years and many amazing experiences later, she is now the Arts & Life Editor for her final semester at John Carroll. Kaitlin loves writing for The Carroll News because of the talented staff and the ability to interview and connect with local business owners and interesting individuals. She loves podcasts, watercolor paintings, talking walks and trying new teas.
