Hi my name is Jocelyn Chen, I’m in the 11th grade, and I’m the Feature editor for The Hoofprint! Outside of the newspaper, you’ll typically find me studying at The Mugs or cooking up Instagram posts for multiple clubs on campus. Some things I love are R&B music, scary movies, tanghulu, New York City, and embarrassing my friends in public.
