Valerie Dookie is a junior at FTHS and thrilled to be a part of Patriot Press! She has had a passion for writing since childhood and is looking forward to bringing that to life through the newspaper. An avid reader, music listener, and tv enjoyer, Valerie covers all the bases when it comes to entertainment and will give millions of recommendations when asked. Outside of Patriot Press, Valerie is an AP student and also a part of many other organizations such as Student Government, Psychology Club, and Paws for a Cause, to name only a few. She is really looking forward to this year with Patriot Press and what it will bring!
