Ashley Kim, Editor-in-Chief

Ashley Kim is a senior and the Editor-in-Chief of the Dublin Shield. She has been on the school newspaper for three years and is excited for her fourth! She loves many things- her family and friends, sea salt popcorn, book marathons at Barnes and Noble, and warm cozy sweaters. She plays clarinet for the marching and concert band, leads a youth group of wonderful middle school girls, and involves herself in several other clubs on campus. Her favorite TV show is BBC Sherlock, and if you watch it, you are considered her instantaneous friend. You can probably find her on campus with her ginormous backpack and a smile on her face. Follow her Instagram @_ashleykim!
