Kalyn McLeod, Editor of Campus Life and Sports

Kalyn McLeod is currently a sophomore at Horizon Honors. It is her third year in Journalism, and second year as an editor. Other than writing, McLeod’s passions include painting, drawing, and competitive swimming. McLeod has been swimming since a young age, and is currently on the Horizon Honors Swim and Dive team. McLeod loves to volunteer and help out in the community. Her favorite place to volunteer is Lost Our Home Pet Rescue, where she helps with dog socialization by walking and playing with the dogs. Her love for dogs comes from Skye, a four-year-old Australian Labradoodle and her best friend. McLeod’s favorite thing to do after a long day of rigorous honors classes is cuddle with Skye. McLeod likes to push herself academically, and hopes to take on the challenging career of a cardiology technician. Other than school and sports, McLeod spends much of her time watching anime and sitcoms.
