As an ISTJ and MBTI enthusiast, Jessie Chen enters her second year of high school with dedication and a strong sense of responsibility. Similar to her ISTJ personality, Chen has integrity and a strong work ethic and is looking forward to her first year on the Falconer. She hopes to use her diligence and attention to detail to contribute to the success of the publication and looks forward to expanding her knowledge of journalism. Outside of the newsroom, Chen applies the same level of discipline and focus to figure skating and piano. Similar to how she meticulously executes her routines on the ice and plays with precision on the piano, she hopes to bring the same precision and grace to her writing. In her downtime, she finds joy and companionship with her mini goldendoodle, who offers both a comforting presence and a much-needed break from her busy life.
