Kathryn Jean Lopez

Kathryn Jean Lopez (born March 22, 1976) is an American conservative columnist who is nationally syndicated by the United Feature Syndicate. She is also the former editor and current editor-at-large of National Review Online. Her nickname on the website's group blog "The Corner" is "K-Lo," a wordplay based on "J-Lo," the popular nickname for Jennifer Lopez.

Lopez grew up in the Chelsea section of Manhattan, attended the all-girls Dominican Academy in New York, and graduated from The Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C., where she studied philosophy and politics. Before joining National Review in New York, she worked at the Heritage Foundation on Capitol Hill.

Besides National Review and NRO, her work has appeared in The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Times, The Women's Quarterly, The National Catholic Register, Our Sunday Visitor, American Outlook, New York Press, and The Human Life Review, among other publications.
