Aileen Hu, AVT Editor-In-Chief

Aileen Hu (‘24) is the 2023-2024 AVT Editor-in-Chief and a senior at Amador. She’s continued journalism hoping to not only help others find their interest but also to expand her own work to include more segments and graphics. What's more, she's found that being in a creative environment is inspiring in and of itself. 

Aside from journalism, Aileen enjoys dancing, drawing, listening to music, and traveling. She loves exploring different subjects and discovering new interests. But despite her curious personality, she is also often on low-power mode, so her hobbies are typically low energy.
