Catrina Currier is a junior at Dublin High and a staff writer for Shield. This is her first year in Shield and she looks forward to exploring journalism. When she’s not listening to Taylor Swift or Wallows, you can find her practicing the tenor saxophone or playing piano. She enjoys watching movies — when she can find a spot on the couch that’s not taken by one of her pets.
