Chris Yang is a Staff Photographer and an Editor-in-Chief of ‘The Observatory,’ as well as a Staff Reporter for ‘The Science Survey.’ He joined journalism because he enjoys making an impact in the lives of other people, and he feels that journalistic writing and photography is the perfect medium for him to start making those ripples of change within his community of readers. Chris’ love for photography stems from his vacations with his family; prior to the lockdown due to COVID-19, Chris enjoyed traveling to new locations both in and out of the United States, and he took lots of photos to serve as a memento of his experiences. Outside of school and journalism, Chris enjoys listening to music, and he has even composed a few pieces of his own. Although Chris currently has no concrete plans for his college major or for his future in general, he finds comfort in knowing that he has a lot of different doors of opportunity in front of him, and he cannot wait to start opening them.
