Community Page Editor

Royce In

Royce is a junior and in his third year in The Spirit. He is looking forward to helping shed a spotlight on SFS’s historic community and the greater Yeonhui-dong area as editor of the Community Page. When he’s not going down the rabbit hole in his latest historical or political obsession for quizbowl, you can find him babysitting his two younger brothers or unleashing his alter ego as an extremely (and concerningly) avid sports fan.

She likes anything that just adds a magical touch to the world, such as jellyfish, empty boxes, and Jasmine tea. She hopes to showcase articles that make readers look forward to the next publications.
