Brittney Hoang, Staff Writer

My name is Brittney Hoang and I am a sophomore this year at Central High. This is my first year as a Central Digest staff member, and I am very excited for this once in a lifetime opportunity. My hobbies are reading and making failed attempts of plushies. After high school, my plan is to go onto college although I am unsure of which school at the moment. I would like to pursue a career in either toxicology or pathology.
