Karissa Jelinski ’28, Page Editor
When Karissa Jelinski ’28 is not playing Field Hockey as a right midfielder, she is with her dogs Dodger and Dasher and her fish named Gerald. Although Jelinski hates swimming, she loves to hang out with friends in her pool. Jelinski stays busy outside of school by playing travel field hockey at Pinnacle, which is based in Ann Arbor and the number one team in the state of Michigan. Jelinski says there is such a welcoming community at Pinnacle and for the sport in general that fuels her passion for it.
“I have really liked the teams I have played with so far, and I feel like I haven’t had a bad coach to the point where it makes me want to quit the sport,” Jelinski said. “So, it has helped me enjoy the sport more.”
Although field hockey takes up a lot of her time, she still finds time to enjoy things like The Tower. Being a page editor and first-year -staffer, Jelinski says it feels like she is following in her sister’s footsteps.
“I feel like The Tower is such a creative space to speak your mind,” Jelinski said. “For page editing specifically, you just have so much freedom to do whatever you want.”
