Ingrid Koch – The Mirror

Ingrid Koch, Staff Writer

Ingrid Koch, a sophomore, is on the staff of The Mirror, the award-winning student newspaper and website at Van Nuys High School in Los Angeles. For fun, she likes to read, write and obsess over Greek mythology and mystery/crime-related material. Her way of relaxing is to shop for books for a nice two hours or more. Warning: Never ask her what her favorite book or book series is, or be prepared for a full-on TED Talk lecture about it. Her favorite movie is “Knives Out,” which is filled with murder, mystery and incredible plot twists that she never saw coming.
