Kayleen Kim, Managing Editor
Kayleen Kim is the managing editor for her third and final year on the Portola Pilot.

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.
