Moer Koey, Staff Writer

Moer Koey is a staff writer for her first year on the Portola Pilot. She is hoping to not procrastinate and write stories at three in the morning. She enjoys hanging out with her friends and making Nicole listen to all of her endless talking. When she isn’t trying to cram at the last minute for a test, you can find her in a Panda Express, munching down endless plates of chow mein.
