Tenzin Gyaldatsang, Copy Editor

Hello, my name is Tenzin and this is my third year on staff. I’m a senior copy editor and while I’m not checking stories for the Echo, I enjoy playing basketball and ultimate frisbee. Catch me in the Pub, and if you don’t, follow me on instagram @topdheng. I also enjoy deep woods hiking!
