Christy Ma, news editor

My name is Christy, but some know me as hot dog lady or Crusty. I joined journalism junior year because I wanted to challenge myself in writing. I love interviewing and meeting new people, and journalism has helped me grow so much as a writer and as a person.

My notable feats include drinking 80 danimals in one sitting, joining journalism, and being a sticker fanatic.
