The Blue & Gold

Catherine Cossaboom, Editor

Catherine Cossaboom is a senior and editor of the Blue & Gold. In her free time, you can find her solving way too many math problems, going on wandering walks to make friends with the deer in her neighborhood, and training her kittens to compete at the next Kentucky Derby. In five years, she hopes to be traveling across the country, running math circles, writing columns, and turning math into a performance art to empower girls to take on the world's problems. This is her third year on the staff.
