About the Contributors
Kelsey Jones, Editor in Chief
A senior at Jesuit High School, Kelsey Jones is a writer and editor for The Jesuit Chronicle. She is excited to pursue her love for writing and news through her involvement in media studies this year. Although this is her second year participating in Jesuit’s media program, Kelsey first discovered her passion for journalism working as a writer and editor for her middle school’s newspaper, The Panther Press. Since then, she has continued to cultivate her love for writing through Jesuit’s English program as well as writing for fun in her free time. Her writing focuses on current events and issues, social justice, education, sports, and the arts. Outside of the classroom, Kelsey is an enthusiastic sports fan as well as an avid reader. She enjoys playing lacrosse, watching movies, and spending time with her friends, family, and dog.
Kasey Engel, Associate Video and Broadcast Director
Sarcastic, dramatic and determined, Kasey Engel is heavily involved in Jesuit’s Media program, and plans to make it her career in the future. She is a veteran of both the Broadcast Journalism and the Advanced Media program, and she is often the person you see behind the camera every Friday night at the football games. As a current Senior at Jesuit High School, she enjoys bringing different topics and people to the spotlight through video media. Her favorite Broadcasting memory she made was when she was conducting an interview with our sideline reporter and 4 Jesuit students dressed as bananas at our Homecoming football game. From a young age, Kasey knew she had an interest in Broadcast Journalism, spending days on end making music videos with her friends, and making a DIY news station in her room. Using her experience both behind and in front of the camera, she hopes to bring forward student’s voices in a positive light. In addition to filming and editing, she enjoys volleyball, baking, and hanging out with her friends.
