Michelle Yang is a senior from Tupelo. Outside of The Vision, she enjoys various activities to make her senior year memorable—from collecting amusing quotes with her roommate to chatting with friends in her favorite spot on campus, the Hooper Reading Room. While embracing her adventurous side and capturing spontaneous ideas, she also appreciates her moments of doing nothing but snacking on Pretzel Crisps. She wishes to continue documenting student experiences at MSMS and use valuable skills from The Vision in her future career.
