Jane Nam, Writer

Jane Nam wants to make her last year of high school memorable and meaningful. As a writer in Journalism class for two years in a row, she focuses mostly on controversial social issues and opinionated articles, in hopes of readers gaining different perspectives on the world and broadening their views. Movies, real-world stories, personal experiences, and others’ life stories greatly interest her. She loves watching movies, especially Wong Kar-wai’s, and wants to keep that enthusiasm going by learning more deeply about films when she goes out into the real world. As a person who gets inspired by every detail in our world, she wants to be an influential person and hopes to write heart-touching stories.
