My name is Katie Berger, and I am a senior studying Public Relations in my second year of Independent Study and Mentorship (ISM) at Frisco High School. Last year I studied journalism under a mentor at D Magazine; I learned a great deal about the journalism industry, formed connections with professional journalists, and even wrote original articles. I took ISM again this year, and chose to study public relations because I want to expand my horizons and try my hand at many areas of the communications industry. I am looking forward to learning more about how PR works and gaining hands-on experience in the field!
Outside of school, I am the Captain of the Frisco Stars Dance Team, a member of National Honor Society, Younglife, DECA, and the Sky Ranch Sigma Leadership program. I have a passion for writing and communication, and I hope to one day turn these skills into a career! My other interests and hobbies include dance, hiking and being out in nature, cooking, working out, and watching movies (particularly Harry Potter). I will be attending the University of Texas at Austin in the fall to further my education as a journalism major. Hook 'em Horns!
