Sora Hwang is the managing editor at Mochi and in her third year at Northeastern University as a journalism major and psychology minor. In addition to Mochi, she has interned at Us Weekly, Bauer Teen Group (J-14, M, and Twist magazines), Her Campus Media, The County Seat, and was the life editor of Pink & Black Magazine.
She has combined her love for fashion and writing as the executive editor of Northeastern's Fashion & Retail Society, and as a college ambassador for StyleUp, a daily e-mail service that provides an outfit inspiration and the weather forecast.
