Summer Shi, Editor-in-Chief

Summer joined the Dublin Shield to improve her writing skills but stayed for the friendly community and warm staff. It is Summer’s fourth year on the Shield and her first as Editor-in-Chief. Summer’s goal is to be able to help spread insightful information and underreported issues across campus. Currently, Summer is really into listening to K R&B, and spending her Friday evenings watching films with friends. Her top three music artists are nafla, pH-1, and GEMINI.
