This is Vinh Epstein’s (‘27) first year being an editor and working at AVJournalism. At Pleasanton Middle School, Vinh helped create and edit the newly formed online school newspaper. He has a passion for creative writing, and he relishes times when he can expand this ability. Vinh takes pleasure in being active in the community, and he has been in leadership as a class officer for two consecutive years.

Vinh enjoys playing video games, reading books, watching educational Youtube videos, and learning intently about any random topic which happens to pique his interest. He plays piano and the alto saxophone, and last year was engaged in learning how to do competitive sailing. Furthermore, Vinh also immerses himself in the joys of mid-century modern architectural design (and for whatever reason period office and stationery supplies), and really all historical styles of design (and yes, he is aware how highly esoteric these passions are). He is currently in the process of 3D modeling a house that he has designed, though he has been putting it off for some time. Vinh is thrilled to be working on awesome stories at AV Journalism, and he wishes everyone an amazing 2024-25 school year. Go dons!
