Marva Shi, Deputy Multimedia Editor

Marva Shi is a sophomore studying Media, Culture, and Communication.

Marva mainly enjoys studying next to big, sunny windows and having long conversations with friends about her Mango Mango cravings. Find her in real life, because social media is awful and we’re all going to die someday.
