Elijah Jhee, Managing Editor

Entering The Accolade staff last year as an assistant news editor, senior Elijah Jhee looks forward to contributing toward the award-winning paper in his second year on staff as a managing editor. As an assistant news editor, Jhee primarily focused on writing stories that dealt with ASB and student clubs. However, he also wasn’t afraid to branch out from these topics, writing various movie reviews on films that interested him. In his senior year, Jhee hopes to establish a sense of clarity and productivity within the staff despite a time period of growing uncertainty.

In his free time, Jhee enjoys playing basketball, leveling up in video games and eating Asian cuisine with friends.
