Miki Mukawa, Head Arts Editor, Grey City Reporter

Miki Mukawa is a member of the Class of 2025 in the College from Yokohama, Japan studying English Language & Literature and minoring in Media Arts & Design. When she’s not finding an excuse to catch the latest show or grab some bites for the Arts section, you can find her poring over the hidden meanings behind Taylor Swift lyrics or saving cooking videos on Instagram (that she will, inevitably, never actually use).
