Charlotte Cao is a current junior at Portola<br />
High School in Irvine, California. An avid<br />
reader and writer, she draws her inspiration<br />
from the likes of Sylvia Plath, Celeste Ng, and<br />
Ocean Vuong. As the daughter of Vietnamese<br />
immigrants, she is especially drawn to<br />
narratives that explore culture, family values,<br />
and the beauty of domesticity. Though she<br />
has yet to decide what she will pursue in the<br />

often be found drinking excessive amounts<br />
of Thai tea boba and fawning over her dog<br />
Hershey.<br />
