Katharina Santos is a senior and staff reporter for Wingspan. She is a member of NHS and president of 3:16 Bible Study. You can often find her sipping on a cold glass of Kombucha, editing someone’s senior pictures or blogging. In the future, Katharina plans on becoming a registered dietician and a personal trainer. If you want to get on her bad side, call her “Kat” and tell her she has protein deficiency from not eating any meat. What makes her the happiest is listening to Hillsong, cuddling with her English Bulldog Gucci, Chick-Fil-A barbecue sauce, and making people laugh.
