Kat Dickey
Digital Content ProducerI'm a digital content producer at LehighValleyNews.com. and a graduate of Muhlenberg College. I received my degree in media and communication and served as managing editor and editor-in-chief of The Muhlenberg Weekly, the college’s student-run newspaper. I am passionate about telling stories from underserved communities and people, which is why much of my writing has focused on food and housing insecurity. I also wrote my senior thesis about class representation in the TV show “Love Island.” In my free time, I love to cook, read romances, and (very poorly) knit.
