KWU said Bonar has a career in journalism dating back 18 years, including work in Hays, Independence and at The Salina Journal, winning multiple awards in the industry, including the Best Front Page honor from the Catholic Press Awards in 2020. She also has experience at KWU working as a freelance photographer for commencement.
