Emily Cornelis is a senior at Golden Valley High School and a staff writer for CPAT She is a member of the National Highschoolers honors society and was awarded Student of The Month in February 2022. She is passionate about coffee, Taylor Swift, books and reviewing those books. She hopes to major in English Literature in college and eventually begin writing her own work. To her, being a student journalist isn’t just about informing people, but also inspiring people to get into reading and building a sense of community. What initially inspired Emily to join Journalism was because it gave her a platform to share and express her passion for books. If there are any books Emily would recommend they are The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E. Schwab, The Cruel Prince by Holly Black, and Sunday Morning by Jewel. E. Ann. When Emily isn’t ranting or raving about books online, she can be found at the local Barnes and Noble, or binging Netflix with her cat Bonnie Boo
