Christine Yoo, Managing Editor

After working as the Sports editor in her junior year, senior Christine Yoo is excited to help lead The Accolade’s print production as the managing editor. Yoo hopes to experiment with novel and fresh elements to incorporate into the publication’s magazines. As she now enters her last year on staff, Yoo also strives to continue building her journalistic skills and discuss issues she’s passionate about in her stories.

Outside of being a journalist, Yoo loves driving down to the beach, binging shows and podcasts and doodling in her sketchbook.
