Ady Bolinger, Assistant News Editor

The 2020-2021 school year marks Ady Bolinger’s second year on the Wolfpacket staff. Bolinger, a junior at Claremont High School, holds an editorial position for the News section this year. Bolinger feels journalism is her calling and enjoys writing articles for the Claremont Courier, as well as short stories and poetry in her free time. Aspiring to become a political journalist, Bolinger looks forward to continuing to deepen her passion for journalism in the upcoming year. Bolinger is also very involved in politics and activism, caring greatly about human rights and environmental protection. Bolinger is often seen sipping an iced latte, typing poetry away on her laptop. However, when she’s pulled away from her writing, she enjoys speech and debate, holding a leadership position on the CHS Speech and Debate team this year, or going to the mountains. Bolinger looks forward to a year of hard-work, progression, and hard-hitting journalism.
