About the Contributors
April Kato, News Editor
In the same way her 13-year piano journey crescendo towards a finale, April Kato is intent on making her last year as a falcon and a staff on the Falconer a balance of memorable, accent-like events and legato-like relaxed moments. Joining the Falconer her junior year and being inspired by the wonderful community, Kato furthered her love for journalism by securing a position as news editor her senior year. This year, she hopes to take on more stories than she did last year, as her goal is time management and fighting the urge of procrastinating, all of which she fell captive to junior year. Outside of the newsroom, Kato enjoys quiet moments of reading at home and playing classical and modern music on her piano, a treasure passed down from her mother. On the weekends, she can be seen volunteering at a Japanese language school, drafting editorials for her internship at a local community journal or roaming Barnes & Noble. Throughout the years in high school Kato's interest for international relations and global topics has grown, linking to her hopes of pursuing such fields after graduation.
Sarina Feng, Feature Editor
As she embarks on the second half of her high school journey, Sarina Feng is excited to begin her second year on the Falconer by taking on the role of Feature Editor. Feng joined the Falconer as a staff writer during her sophomore year, inspired by journalism’s ability to amplify voices that often go unheard. With a keen attention to detail and a touch of creativity, she is committed to exploring and spotlighting the diverse, remarkable stories within the community. When not in the newsroom or buried under homework, Feng finds joy in her artistic pursuits and passion projects. She can be found scribbling down lines of poetry, sketching while immersed in hour-long video essays, working on technology projects, or making attempts at photography with her twenty-year-old camera. A lover of music, beachside strolls, surrealist art, and multitasking, Feng is ready for another year of lasting memories and growth as both a student journalist and individual.
