Zoe Ferring, Managing Editor

I joined C Mag because I really like the blend of writing and design it offers, and I’m inspired by the diverse and interesting topics surrounding arts and culture. This year, I’m excited to improve my skills in both writing and design, while also connecting with the rest of the staff. For the future, I’m hoping to either go into journalism or STEM, or potentially a blend of both. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with friends, playing sports, reading, and listening to music.
