Christine Wang, Deputy News Editor

Christine is a sophomore in the College of Arts and Science majoring in philosophy and also something that will hopefully make her a living post-graduation. She can often be found giggling at cat videos, snacking on packaged  cheese, or answering emails at 4am. She has lived in the Bay Area for the most part of her life and is still uncomfortable with New Yorkers calling the sweet tapioca drink, "Bubble Tea." Her favorite past-time is over thinking and welcomes anyone who is willing to volunteer as tribute to listen to her late night rambles.
