Mika Sakamoto, Staff Writer

Hello! I’m Mika, self-proclaimed ailurophile, cinephile, and nyctophile. Easily bribed. Sometimes I forget to smile. In an apocalypse, I would be the sole survivor because of my sharp wit and level head. People often describe me as humble, selfless, brave, introspective, and genuine, but I don’t like to brag.
