Phoenix McClure
News Reporter
Hello! My name is Phoenix. A few fun facts about myself is that I am on the autism spectrum as highly functioning alongside openly nonbinary and mainly prefer to go by they/them pronouns. Other fun facts I wanted to share about myself include my passion for drawing, poetry alongside haikus, creative writing fictional stories. I hope to one day share and publish as an author, enjoying playing videogames like Ace Attorney/The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles and Hollow Knight. For example, a deep love for animals and nature, and staying informed on important relevant issues to help in advocating for needed progressive change in however small ways I can. My current academic pathway through college is to graduate with an associate in arts direct transfer agreement and pursue my artistic career opportunities at Evergreen State College and beyond! I am looking forward to reporting important stories for SPSCC and learning and collaborating with others as I go at Sounds News!

Khue Ho
Web Editor/ News Reporter
I’m Khue Ho – current Sounds News’ Web Editor/ News Reporter, who’s also an international student from Vietnam. I plan to graduate with an AS-Track 2 degree and ideally will be transferring to UW – Tacoma, where I will be continuing my studying in Electrical Engineering. Writing has and always been where I found passion and connection with the community. This 26-27 academic year, I’ll be in charge for news publishing and web polishing, but when I’m not editing, I’m eager to write stories about student perspectives – especially on music, films, books, and any community-related concerns.
