Andrew Ma, Head News Editor

Missing lunch for publishing week every month last year didn't bother junior Andrew Ma too much, so he's back in newspaper for year three as head News Editor. Maybe he'll sell his soul for The Californian next? Andrew enjoys writing anything that isn't an editorial at his usual excruciatingly slow pace and meeting fascinating new people. In his sparse free time, he likes running track and XC with friends, making pancakes every weekend, playing piano, and being friends with HEAD Opinions Editor Gaby Jimenez and co-Editor in Chief Daphne So.
