Chelsea Nguyen, Managing Editor
Chelsea Nguyen is a senior entering her third year in journalism. She runs multiple Instagram accounts, including one aptly named “chelsteaa” and a page called “Chelsea’s Column,” where she assists her peers with science concepts and college applications. Nguyen sees herself working for Instagram in the near-future because the social media app is a big part of her life. Some of Nguyen’s hobbies are trying new milk tea drinks, photography and listening to K-pop songs from Seventeen, Tomorrow X Together and BTS. Nguyen wants to travel to more countries like Japan, Korea and Taiwan to explore different cultures and photograph the beauty of each country. In school, she is the president of Interact Club, public relations officer of the Vietnamese Student Union and one of the secretaries of spirit in UPA’s Associated Student Body. She loves bringing people together and increasing school spirit through rallies and class bondings. Outside of school, she is a part of the United States Naval Sea Cadet Corps and is the photojournalist of her home division, Enterprise Division, taking photos at monthly drills and uploading them on the unit’s Instagram account. Her favorite aspect of photojournalism is capturing candids and telling stories through her photographs. The coverage she is most proud of in Aquila is her profile on a UPA alumnus and the newsmagazine spread she designed for the profile. Nguyen looks forward to writing more student profiles and reviewing K-pop groups and comebacks.
