Kayley Arevalo, Event Coverage Coordinator
Kayley Arevalo is a 16 year old junior, currently in her second semester of journalism. Arevalo was born here in Shallotte, North Carolina where she grew up and spent most of her life. She spends her free time playing with her cats and hanging out with her friends.
“One of my favorite things to do is going to Ocean Isle,” said Arevalo. “I like going there to the beach, and I usually go with my friends.”
Arevalo was introduced to the West Wind by her sister Angela, class of 2019. Arevalo’s sister was editor-in-chief for The West Wind her senior year and took the class a total of six semesters. Kayley is following in her sister’s footsteps, working to be a great writer.
“I like to write about current trending topics and help create video packages,” said Arevalo. “Also I like Mrs. Saunders, so that helped for why I joined the class.”
Kayley’s future plans are to go to a four-year university; although there are no clear options of which school she wants to go to, Arevalo wants to have a career in journalism.
“I think this class is really fun,” said Arevalo, “we get to be ourselves without judgment and that’s what makes it so fun.”
