Introducing the 2025-2026 FAST Journalism Committee
The Journalism Committee at FAST powers all written content for the club, which is published online and in print in FAST’s annual magazine. Producing dozens of articles each year, our writers work tirelessly to uncover stories about all things fashion. Here are the twelve writers behind it all.
Lauren Kim (she/her) is a junior studying Public Affairs and Sociology, and she serves as the Journalism director of FAST at UCLA. In her work, Lauren hopes to shed light on the sociopolitical forces that underpin rising trends in fashion. Even if she’s not working on her next article, Lauren is probably still writing – furiously typing a to-do list in her Notes app or drafting a cryptic tweet. When she peels herself away from her computer, Lauren also enjoys sampling specialty lattes, scouring eBay, and knitting.
Ava Bozic (she/her) is a senior studying Psychology and Spanish. Her studies intersect with her fascination for how people relate to fashion, language, and other forms of expression. Beyond overanalyzing her surroundings, she enjoys making matchas, bookmarking countless vintage designer items she’ll never buy, and eating tomatoes. She looks forward to being a 65-year-old woman fluent in four languages, running a vintage shop, and living among tall buildings.
Emily Hu (she/they) is a junior studying Cognitive Science and Art History. Her love for fashion stems from a fascination with storytelling - as does her love for museums, music and digital media. You can find her obsessively logging movies on Letterboxd, perusing grocery stores for seasonal kombuchas, or scurrying around LA with no real destination.
Eva Trujillo (she/her) is a freshman studying Microbiology, Immunology, and Molecular Genetics. An avid follower of all things fashionable, she hopes to decipher how fashion is a living representation of societal reform. Outside of UCLA, you will most likely catch Eva diligently reading her newfound favorite book, cooking for her loved ones, or doomscrolling on Vestiare. FYI… her favorite thing to yap about is Soviet cartoons.
Hiram Rabell-Ramos (he/him) is a second-year transfer student majoring in English literature. Hiram's admiration for fashion was likely inherited from his grandmother, who used to sew clothes for him and constantly read fashion magazines. It is his dream to work in fashion journalism to draw attention and awareness to designers, models, and photographers from cultural backgrounds that are often ignored. As someone who identifies heavily with their dual sign, his personal style does not reflect any single category, with him describing his closet as "chaotic".
Lucy Wong R. (she/her) is a sophomore studying Communications and Political Science, with a minor in French. Her love for fashion started with strutting down long apartment hallways in her mom’s Isabel Marants. Today she still dons those Marants, whether down Melrose, in the Music Library, or in the UCLA Radio Station. With her love for fashion and writing, she hopes to one day write for a mainstream magazine like Vogue.
Mya Ward (she/her) is a senior majoring in Anthropology and minoring in English and Classical Civilization. From a young age, Mya realized that she was never at a loss for words nor lacking in opinion. As it happens, a sizable number of her opinions are on fashion. Mya can be found reading in the corner of any cafe with ambient lighting and aromatic tea, running to or from any concert she claps her eyes on, or musing on what she’ll write about next.
Naomi Engle (she/her) is a sophomore studying Linguistics, Psychology, and Computing. This is her second year with FAST Journalism, and she looks forward to shining a light on gender and disability in the fashion community. If she weren’t at UCLA, she would be a professional face painter at the circus. She prides herself on knowing too much about people on the internet.
Natalie Hunt (she/her) is a senior studying Political Science and Linguistics. Little Natalie loved writing about fantastical donut-monsters and talking squirrels, and since then, has written more fiction, screenplays, and journalistic pieces. She aims to one day be a prolific author, an eccentric hermit living in an isolated cottage, writing novel after novel. For now, you can find her on campus rushing from class to class with a hot tea in hand, untangling the impossible knots out of her wired headphones.
Presley Liu (she/her) is a sophomore studying Communications and Sociology. She thrives on the little joys of campus life — sipping coffee, strolling in heels, and drifting away to Mac Miller. Fascinated by identity, perception, and the layers of everyday culture, she stitches stories that reveal how we see ourselves and each other. When not reporting, she’s chasing sunlight, savoring croissants, conducting research, or crafting a marketing campaign. Her work aims to blend curiosity, style, and thoughtfulness, capturing the beauty in the ordinary and the extraordinary.
Sanya Khan is a senior, studying Psychology and Dance double major at UCLA, weaving her worlds of art and intellect into storytelling. As a journalist and model with FAST, she explores fashion as both language and legacy: a reflection of emotion, culture, and the body in motion. Though her idyll rests in hearty meals and warm cappuccinos, she also finds felicity in balmy afternoons spent reveling in the pages of her favorite novels. A lover of period dramas, Behavioural sciences, and poetic detail, she believes style is not worn but lived. Ever the adventurer, her world is her atelier. If you spot her nestled under a tree pondering Kant's philosophies, don’t hesitate to say hello; an interlude with a fellow wanderer would delight her.
Sissi Ho (she/her) is a sophomore majoring in Anthropology. She’s curious about fashion as an ever-evolving cultural archive, and is passionate about exploring histories stitched into the record. Some of her interests include journalism, IKEA, the arts and iced hojichas; if she’s not responding, she’s either watching YouTube on a couch in YRL or ordering a panini from Northern Lights.
