Karis Kelly is one of our creative interns/photographers. She is a student at Holy Trinity High School. She is involved with a plethora of clubs such as Science Olympiad and Student Government. She is also a part of JEC and the Chicago Youth Alliance for Climate Action. In the future, Karis hopes to become a part of the medical industry by becoming a doctor. When she first heard of People Project Magazine, she thought it was a great idea! The reason for the magazine was something she felt she could get behind. She ended up sending in some photography - originally for an outside project - and everything fell into place.
