Lauren Kee ’24 – Editor-in-Chief
See a cute bunny hopping to class at 8:16? That’s The Choate News’s fearless leader. She’ll train you into a mahjong master, dazzle you with soulful marimba melodies, and enchant you with her six-hour-long Cantopop playlist. E-calendar date invites are required to keep pace with this busy lady’s dance. The “Kee” to her heart is keeping her company until 5 a.m. for layout.
Jacqueline Yan ’24 – Managing Editor
Spot this jazz and R&B enthusiast with her iconic leather “Jac”ket at the X, searching for a guy whose jersey she can steal. Must agree to morning gym dates and late-night Criminal Minds marathons. Bring Jacqueline a gallon of extra creamy oat milk — with a side of sarcastic banter — and she’ll fall in love. Planning dates? This restaurant aficionado has got you covered.
Erin Li ’24 – School News Editor
Her heart is full like her closet, and she is ready to find love. Erin needs someone who can keep up with her trendsetting and fast-rising bread. Her positive attitude and top-notch harp playing will win anyone over. Must be able to supply her Starbucks, especially when it’s a two croissants kind of day.
Helen Ryan ’24 – School News Editor
Don’t be fooled by this fun-sized School News editor — she has a voice that can steer boats and win your heart. Be prepared to compete (lose) in the NYT Mini and Wordle every day. To win her over, an endless supply of Diet Coke and Tuck Shop curly fries is a must. Plus, you gotta love her in all forms, even with her headache cap on.
Eva Li ’24 – Local News Editor
Eva seen this Local News editor donning her couture collections around campus or rowing by in the 2V boat? This KEC queen is looking for her future businessman, who will take her exploring the world and supply her with endless Royce chocolates. If you can handle spicy Chinese food and her 9 p.m. “Sorry, I have to go home,” look no further!
Anissa Wang ’24 – Local News Editor
This aspiring economist, with a different set of nails each month, is looking for a Thai-wanese basketball captain. If you don’t want to receive a vicious side-eye, buy her a silver heart necklace, put her initials on your jersey, travel with her, and match her 10 p.m. bedtime. But… I heard “little noosey” has already found her “steady.”
Amelia Sipkin ’25 – Ops (Campus) Editor
Chances are this ginger — sorry, strawberry blonde — Campus Ops editor’s angelic voice has made you feel like you’ve never seen the sky before. She lives in the moment, so forgo Snapchat and Instagram for two tickets to Moulin Rouge and a late-night trip to Juice Generation for an acai bowl. But, if you’re Jacob Elordi, bring her a ring, and she’s all yours.
Stan Cho ’25 – Ops (Nation/World) Editor
Don’t let the Busan boy’s 500-pound bench press or buzzcut scare you. Secure a date with Choate’s premiere mathematician-scientist by reading his La La Land review on Letterboxd, listening to his psychedelic rock and jazz rap Spotify playlists, and commenting on his blog. Be warned: if you can’t break his heart, désolée!
Yoyo Zhang ’24 – Features Editor
If you haven’t seen this STEMinist whizzing around campus in cotton-candy jeans, pick up almost any school publication to find her name. Looking for her favorite love language? Choose between English, Chinese, Spanish, and Japanese, or better still, serenade her with the clarinet or the oboe (preferably both). Bonus points if you spar with her in boxing or spot her in the gym.
Laya Raj ’24 – Arts & Leisure Editor
Who wouldn’t adore a dancer who might just know the cure to your neuropathic pain? The grace of this biology wizard shines beyond the Colony studio. Want to be blessed with her signature deadpan humor and crazy concoctions (e.g., yogurt-covered Cocoa Puffs)? Get in line with a Lanphy chai latte in hand and insights into the latest Modern Math problem set.
Lauren Hsu ’24 – Sports Editor
Score yourself the perfect date with a cashmere shopping spree at J. Crew. Win Lauren over with an oat milk matcha latte — add boba for extra points. Impress this ex-swimmer by reciting swimming world record times. Finally, challenge her to a mahjong game set to Hans Zimmer’s Interstellar soundtrack. (She’ll probably beat you, but the goal’s to have fun.)
Junho Lee ’24 – Layout Editor
This panda is looking for his bam-“boo-boo.” Requirements: 5’4”; rivals his InDesign skills; says “Faaaaacts” with him; and matches his unhealthily late sleeping schedule. What you get in return: this second Clarinet refuses to wear any of his jackets no matter how cold, so they’re all yours. But rumor has it, a certain ballerina has already hopped her way into his heart.
Melody Qian ’24 – Graphics Editor
Good luck finding Melody around campus: she’s probably in Colony Hall practicing her viola (NOT violin). This Phantom Thief of Hearts (and of cats, if you have one) will take you on elaborate Minecraft dates. If she’s not playing Candy Crush or covertly listening to the Undertale soundtrack with earbuds hidden under her messy hair, you know you’ve won her over.
Toffy Prakittiphoom ’24 – Photo Editor
With boundless wisdom towering over his stature, look no further than this competitive swimmer, charismatic scientist, and dining hall enthusiast. Ladies, to score this Bangkok bullseye of a man, don’t get caught breaking the Honor Code, keep your cameras charged, pull up to Burger Thursday, and stay firm when convincing this Keoghan that he’s an Elordi.
Emily Ma ’25 – Photo Editor
Sephora package? You know you’re in for a haul from this skincare fanatic. She’s longing for an iced matcha and boba buddy who can double as a chef at 2 a.m. when she’s craving some ramen. If your rizz is stellar enough, she’ll agree to take your picture. But first, cheer her on with a front-row seat at the Spring Dance Concert.
