Dan You
Web Editor/Layout Editor/Fundraising & Public Relations
Dan You taught John Legend how to play jazz piano and when he was young he once sent his own parents to his room. Although he would rather spend time adding his knowledge to the urban dictionary, he chooses to get out of the house once in awhile and major in Computer Engineering and Communication - for fun. He frequents Daylight Beach Club as a part-time DJ on weekends and is a long time fan of Los Angeles Dodgers. |

George Getze
Associate Editor / Fundraising & Public Relations

George Getze is a 20 year old student at pcc studying to teach English. However, he is not an autobiographer, and doesn’t know well how to write about himself while maintaining objectivity. But, from where he stands, he sees a plain old boy. He is brother to his sister Samantha and son of his parents, Richard and Tawny. He is a big fan of music, listening mostly, but not exclusively, to folk and 90’s/60’s rock. He is a regular hiker and has a bit of a romance with nature. He is a lot of things, but a description isn’t one of them. Primarily, he just is.

Tomoko Irie
Poetry Editor

An aspiring English major and poet who has yet to decide what her future holds. She wants to work in an atmosphere that incorporates linguistics, English literature, the Japanese language, and paleontology (if there isn't such a thing, she would want to make one herself). She loves cats, the rain, cloudy days, and coffee shops. Her recent personal goal is to try as many chai tea lattes as possible (hot or cold). She takes inspiration from people-watching, dreams, and traveling. She went to the UK for the first time this past summer and cannot forget the beautiful Scottish countryside. A few of her favorite authors are Haruki Murakami, Christopher Paolini, Brian Jacques, and Miyuki Miyabe (the list continues). She has taken two creative writing courses at PCC, the first being Professor Kirsten Ogden’s poetry class and the second being Professor Manuel Perea’s short story class.

Giselle De Silva
Submittable Editor
|
Giselle De Silva was uprooted 20 miles from her hometown of Los Angeles to San Gabriel at the age of 10. Having nearly 10 years in both diverse cities, she grew a strong affection towards cultures other than her own. Favoring the cuisines and developing a large interest in the history of her neighbors, she hopes to study world arts and culture after her time at Pasadena City College. She aspires to be involved in the arts industry as an administrator for theaters or work with schools to further implement arts into core curriculum. Her big dream goal is to open her own theater for communities and creatives ill-equipped to pursue or access the arts. At her time with Inscape, she hopes to learn about the business side of publication and implement those findings in her other pursuits.

Lauren Romo
Associate Editor
|
Los Angeles born and Bay Area raised, Lauren is back in L.A to pursue a college education at PCC and career as a writer, she thinks. A passion for creativity and literary arts has been present since a young age, as she's gone from getting lost in books to writing screenplays, poetry, and songs. Some other hobbies include designing clothes, playing piano, makeup, cooking hot wings and eating hot wings. While Lauren loves funny and outlandish forms of expression, she is also a passionate social justice activist. Her writing can take on heavy topics such as violence, the concept of masculinity, racism/colorism, and the pressures of being a 1st generation Mexican American. Nobody knows what the future hold for Lauren, but she hopes to earn a degree in a field that won't be taken over by robots, actually finish a screenplay at some point, make a lot of money, and most importantly release her own line of various hot sauces.
