Crystal Qian, Copy Editor

Crystal is a sleep-deprived senior and a Copy Editor of the Epic. Outside of journalism, she loves poking people with a metal stick and mastering the art of procrastination. In her spare time, she’s either baking questionable desserts, binge-watching Netflix’s entire library, or screaming at the TV whenever Jimmy Garoppolo throws an interception.
