About the Contributor
Haley Wong
Haley Wong, Editor in Chief

My name is Haley Wong, and I am one of The Independent’s two editors in chief this year! I am a senior and, when I’m not editing, you might just find me sharing a story with the Creative Writing Club or rehearsing for upcoming performances in our fine arts department. I love to read, write, play “The Sims,” make way too many Spotify playlists and spend endless hours on Pinterest.
