Hello, my name is Marlena Lang and this is my fourth year working for the Chimes and my third year as visual editor. I’m from the island of Kauai, Hawaii and when I am home I love spending time at the beach with friends, taking photos of what’s around me, and eating açaí bowls.  I also enjoy a good coffee date and being out with friends. I am currently a senior broadcast journalism major and a human rights, social justice, and conflict transformation minor. After graduation, I dream of moving to New York City and telling the stories of minority groups that are often outcasted or misrepresented by the media. 

I began taking digital media classes in the seventh grade where I developed my love for film and photography. Through many years of experience, I became aware of my gift and love for writing as well and decided that broadcast journalism would be the best fit in order for me to combine my two loves: film production and writing.  I joined the Chimes with the hope of improving my photography skills, getting a taste of journalism, and getting to emerge myself in a community of students who enjoy journalism and are as passionate about it as I am.
