Brasen Chi, Arts & Entertainment Editor
Brasen Chi, Class of 2022, is a third year reporter and the Arts and Entertainment editor for WSPN. In school, he tends to zone out and be a little forgetful especially when it comes to class homework, but he still scrapes by. Outside of school, Brasen enjoys reading, going on food expeditions, and music. He’s currently trying to teach himself how to draw to get in touch with his section more.
