Olivia Phongsa, Arts and Entertainment Editor

Olivia has been with the Tribune for two years, and for the most recent one she was the Assistant A&E Editor. She wanted to stay with the Tribune because she liked the warm Tribune community and loved watching everyone work hard to produce an amazing paper. Olivia’s favorite show is Phineas and Ferb and she likes listening to music and watching Youtube. If she could time travel, she would time travel to when she was a little kid. If she could be anyone else on the Tribune, Olivia would be Grace Y because she is a great writer and super cute !!
