Katie Huggins, Lifestyle Editor

Hi, everyone! I’m a senior here at LHS, and I’m also the Lifestyle editor for The Lancer Spirit. I love to write about spirituality, healing, mental health and more. I love to create my own art unique to me which I use in my stories frequently. I’ve been on staff for 3 years now, and I’ve had the best few years being a reporter and an editor. Look at my profile for more stories by me.
