Derek Chen – C Magazine

Derek Chen, Online Editor-in-Chief

I joined C Mag to write about my favorite parts of Paly culture, whether that be music, social media trends, or the academic expectations. This year, I look forward to designing amazing magazines and writing about diverse topics to expose C Mag to a broader audience. One thing I hope to do in the future is become an entrepreneur. In my free time, I enjoy listening to Playboi Carti, going to the gym, and hanging out with friends.
