Kaitlin Kenny (York U ‘22)
Bonjour! I'm a bilingual Irish-Canadian originating from friendly Thunder Bay. I'm in my fifth year of professional writing at York University. I live with my partner of seven years and our five rats. I've been involved with writing and editing for about ten years now, and when I'm not clacking away at my keyboard, I can be found reading, cooking, playing video games, or having a good pet snuggle. I'm a huge horror movie and reality television fan. I'm oddly passionate about copyediting, spooky stuff and cool cups. My favourite part of writing and editing is providing a voice to those who may not have one, and helping others reach their dreams, and some of my favourite topics include understanding disabilities and other fringe communities, as well as other social issues. A plus tard!
