Sydni Williams || Marketing Director
Sydni Williams is a writer, actress, and learner from Framingham, Massachusetts. She is strong believer of appreciating the little things in life like sunsets, boxes of chocolate, and ice cream on a hot day. Despite her loyalty to these timeless cliches, Sydni would more accurately describe herself as a realist in love with the literary arts. Sydni spends most of her time reading dramas, writing poems, and participating in the St. Marks plays. The Parkman post allows Sydni to pursue a different passion for journalism and write freely about her thoughts.
Andrew Hung is a junior at St Marks from Tustin, California. Andrew enjoys reading fantasy and dystopian fiction. In his free time he enjoys gaming, particularly playing Overwatch. He is interested in technology, economics, and politics.
Galen Deane is currently a 5th former, at St. Mark’s. When not at school, he lives in Long Island, New York with his family. While, in his free time he likes to play tennis and sail. Galen continues to enjoy the creative freedom that goes along with being a writer for the Parkman Post.

She likes to travel and eat food from different places around the world, as well as explore new places with her friends. Ingrid is a co-head of the MUN club this year, and she enjoys reading about current events. She looks forward to writing again for the Parkman Post this year and expressing her opinion on current issues.
Keyao (Coco) Xia is a III form boarding student (if there is no pandemic) from Shanghai, China. One fun fact about her is that she loves animals. She keeps a lot of pets including hamsters, fish, birds, salamanders, etc. She is working really hard to take good care of her animal friends and make sure they do not die! In her free time, she also loves to read and her favorite book during this past summer is The Great Influenza by John M. Barry. She is interested in many science subjects such as genetics, biology, zoology, etc., and is looking forward to further exploring them in the future.

Kelly Yang is a composer, musicologist from Shanghai, China. She is dedicated to ethnomusicology, especially the field of Chinese music theory. She is the founder of Chinese musicology dictionary website, and is currently editing the Chinese version of the Ancient Greek music theory book Harmonics by Aristoxenus. Just like what Richard Wagner said: ““Music is the inarticulate speech of the heart, which cannot be compressed into words, because it is infinite.” Music is her spirit and her forever confidant. Using the language of music, she explores the world in a different lens, giving her a completely different view toward current political and global events.
Sullivan is 15. He is a IV form boarder at St. Mark’s School in Southborough, Massachusetts. Born in Shanghai and bred in Hong Kong, Sullivan loves to discover more about anything.
