Founders

Grace Deng was the Head and Managing Editor for Pudong Press, “the only journalism club at SAS.” When not making fun of Pudong Press’ editor-in-chief for constantly advertising Pudong Press as “the only journalism club at SAS,” she enjoys voraciously devouring news about politics and international relations, playing piano, and taking ridiculous photos of her cat. As the winner of SAS’ English department’s excellence award her sophomore year, she also enjoys buying new books that she promises she’ll read but never does. ​

Hanwen Cao was the Editor-in-Chief for Pudong Press. With her experience as an executive and President of other clubs, she entertains herself by reassuring others of her amazing abilities. She enjoys advertising Pudong Press as “the only journalism club at SAS” and often brainstorms ludicrously haphazard ideas that need to be pacified by the Managing Editor. She is committed to a serious monogamous relationship with her duvet and loves horror novels and movies. When she is free, she likes to zone out, play tennis, and interact with her cats.

Adeena Liang was the Chief of Operations for Pudong Press. Starting in ninth grade, she has repeatedly honed her emailing and spreadsheet-making skills. Highly unqualified for all of her positions, Adeena is also President of Baobei and Roots & Shoots, the secretary of STUCO, and Vice President of NHS. In her spare time, she likes to beat people up in the name of “playing a sport.” Adeena also loves to tend to her farm in her favourite game, Hay Day.

Michelle Zhou was one of the two Heads of Photography at Pudong Press. She is mainly interested in street photography and candids. She has completed the New York Film Academy summer high school program for photography and has had her photos featured on several websites. Her speciality is smartphone photography, and she has an uncanny eye for composition and capturing the perfect moment. ​

Past Executives

Cynthia Wang was the Editor-in-Chief for Pudong Press. Besides writing, she enjoys playing violin, reading, and blogging on her personal blog, Quotidian Musings.

Michelle Huang was the Managing Editor for Pudong Press.

Julie Xie was the Chief of Operations for Pudong Press. She loves making art in her free time, but she also spends a lot of time on sports and photography. She takes photos of the many places she’s been to, and she loves sharing them with people.

Gabrielle Zhu was the Head of Photography for Pudong Press. She spends her free time drawing, sketching, or painting, in a process she sometimes accidentally calls “art-ing”. She regularly enjoys reading books/poems and ranting about them to anyone willing to listen.
