Genevieve Kennedy, Staff Reporter

Genevieve Kennedy is a senior at Harrisonburg High School and a first year Newsstreak staff reporter. She prides herself on a collection of rather eclectic skills, such as creating detailed sketches in the margins of her notes, being able to walk both of her dogs at once, and the power of perfecting winged eyeliner on the first try. Her defining feature is her tendency to be late to everything she can possible manage: school, marching band, joining the Newsstreak, etc. Once she actually manages to show up to the functions she attends, you are likely to find her either using copious amounts of words she doesn’t know the meaning of or lying about her relation to the late President John F. Kennedy.
