Kira Chan, Editor in Chief

Hi! I’m Kira Chan, the co-editor-in-chief of the news section. This is my third year on the Clarion and I’ll be graduating from Cleveland in 2019. In my free time I enjoy playing tennis, spending time with my dog, and cooking. My favorite TV shows are “Friday Night Lights” and “Freaks and Geeks,” and “The Office”. My favorite movies are “Stand By Me” and “Mulan.” My favorite food is margherita pizza.
