Embarking on the journey that is her sophomore year at TPHS, Joanne Liu constantly strives to satisfy her craving for creative self expression– and her first year as a member of the Falconer is just the perfect opportunity. As a student athlete seeking balance in her restless life, Liu hopes that she can blend the beautiful choreography of figure skating with the captivating art of journalism to fill this year with passion. Liu is also currently the graphic designer for the TPHS Biology Olympiad Club. In her spare time, Liu enjoys watching video essays, listening to music (such as Laufey and Billie Eilish), playing minesweeper, and creating art in many different forms.
