Kriya Handa, Dreamcatcher Editor-in-Chief

Class of 2025

Hi! I’m the Editor-in-chief for the Dreamcatcher. I’m so excited to continue to showcase the creativity our school has to offer. Other than Press, my interests include learning about different types of cultures and people, traveling, and exploring new things in the city. I also like playing the piano and enjoying a good movie.
