Ethan Le, Staff Writer

Ethan Lê, a freshman writer and illustrator, is looking forward to improving his writing skills in his first year on staff. His journey began in the 5th grade after writing and illustrating a book. He hopes that his readers feel they gained something valuable from what he writes. In his free time, you can find Ethan writing his Wings of Fire fanfiction or at the swap meet with his mom on the weekend (if he’s not doomscrolling). Ethan is an avid listener of the Neon Genesis Evangelion opening and Giorno’s theme. His favorite movies include The Shawshank Redemption and Terminator 2, both of which he cried to. If you’re looking for someone to get a perfect dap with, Ethan Le is your guy.
