Mandy Wong, AVT Editor-in-Chief

Mandy Wong is a senior at Amador who is excited to be an editor-in-chief this year! This will be her third year in the journalism program, and she’s determined to make it her best. With her work, Mandy hopes to connect students to Amador and each other.

At a young age, Mandy fell in love with reading books of all genres, from mystery to magazines. Today, Mandy’s book collection (with plenty of Agatha Christie and Better Homes and Gardens) receives regular dusting and organization. She wishes the same could be said about the rest of her room, though...
