Ayoung is known to her friends and teachers by her nickname, JoJo. Though this is her first and last year of being on The Sidekick, she hopes to gain much experience in journalism and photography. In her free time, she enjoys sleeping, running, watching movies and trying out new recipes (even if the final products turn out subpar). One of the many places she would love to visit in the future includes Santorini, Greece.
