Andrew Ma, Editor-in-Chief

Senior Andrew Ma is Editor-in-Chief of The Californian Paper. Now that he is officially geriatric after writing for the paper since freshman year, he is eager to experiment with new forms of media, suggest more in-depth feedback, and report on bizarre stories. He also may unwittingly become a victim of a cruel and senseless senior identity theft scheme. In his free time, you’ll find Andrew baking desserts at high temperatures, playing Pokemon with his laptop at high temperatures, and running XC (also at high temperatures for some reason).
