Chau Nguyen, Style Editor

Chau is a senior and a style editor on The Beacon. You can call her Chloe to avoid awkward “how do you say your name” social etiquettes. An elitist classical musician, she loves being transcended by Liszt’s etudes and 1D’s pops (sacrilegious). When she’s not urging sophomores to take AP Bio, Chau is either making Gordon Ramsay’s lamb sauce or bashing pianos in the B Wing to complete her 40 hours of practice. She’s looking forward to bringing her international (Vietnamese) perspective to the table and making style a great section this year.
