About the Contributors

Kayleen Kim, Managing Editor

Kayleen Kim is the managing editor for her third and final year on the Portola Pilot. This year, she'll aim to make her final interactions with the team special by tackling the complicated challenges of Wordpress and consistently bothering staff about their deadlines. She enjoys podcasting, coming up with fresh lines for her novel, practicing the cello, and giving her dog, Tofu <3, plenty of kisses when she's not quietly dancing to Jam Republic’s or Bada Lee’s choreographies at 3 a.m.

Aditi Salunkhe, Co-News Editor

Aditi Salunkhe is the Co-News Editor for her third and final year on the Portola Pilot. When she's not rushing to write Pilot stories on tight deadlines, she can be found reading a good book or listening to Coldplay. In her free time, she enjoys napping and going on long runs. She is so excited to help lead the first-ever breaking news team this year!

Mia Jong, Co-Managing Editor

Mia Jong is the Co-Managing Editor for her third and final year on the Portola Pilot. She loves to create, whether it be with a paintbrush and canvas or a pen and paper, and she can’t wait to make more memories with her fellow Pilot members. In her free time, you can find her penny-boarding at the park, attempting to learn Korean or debunking the “best Yelp-reviewed eats.” She believes everyone has a unique story to tell and hopes to give a voice to the Portola High community through her writing.
