Amy Dai, Staff Writer

Hello! My name is Amy Dai and this is my first year on the Oakton Outlook. As a writer, I hope to be able to expand my knowledge by learning about student’s opinions on a variety of topics and gain insight that will open my mind to new ideas. My objective is to capture different people’s views in a non biased approach and use this platform as a way to advocate and address certain issues I find passionate about. I look forward to having a great year and becoming more connected with the school!
