Clarinne Kirk, Editor

Clarinne Kirk is a senior at Jesuit High School who is very excited to grow as a writer in her first year of journalism. Clarinne believes journalism fosters community and understanding and fights against ignorance and biases. During the pandemic, Clarinne read The New York Times on a regular basis and gained a new appreciation for the importance of well informed and topical news. This appreciation fueled a desire for her to similarly inform her community while developing her writing abilities. Clarinne loves spending time outdoors and is very passionate about protecting the environment through sustainable actions and climate justice. During her time at the Jesuit Chronicle, Clarinne hopes to educate her peers about climate change and sustainable actions we can take both in our Jesuit community and in the greater Portland-Metro area. At Jesuit, Clarinne competes in cross country and track, is a student ambassador, and is a member of the school’s Green Team. Outside of school, Clarinne enjoys spending time hiking, running, and playing with her two dogs, Bailee and Hazy. Additionally, Clarinne also spends her free time baking, reading, and taking pictures of Oregon’s beautiful scenery.
