"The web-designing just wasn't as me as I feel interviewing and getting to write stories could be," Klingman-Mutchler said.
Klingman-Mutchler hopes to improve throughout the year and learn more about newswriting style as opposed to yearbook.

On the weekends Klingman- Mutchler enjoys being able to relax and focus on her friends instead of schoolwork.
"I honestly love just rotting in my bed, scrolling through Instagram reel and texting or calling my friends," Klingman-Mutchler said.

When Klingman- Mutchler eventually leaves high school, she hopes to become a forensic scientist. She first discovered her affinity for forensics through the show "Grey's Anatomy", her favorite TV show, hoping to study at USF or UF.
"I've always loved the thought of it, and I want to be a doctor while also working in criminology. I find those both very interesting," Klingman-Mutchler said. " I feel like my roots are at USF because all of my sisters have gone there."
