The Hawkeye

Irvin Zhang, Hawkeye staff

I’m Irvin Zhang, a junior at MTHS and this is my first year as a Hawkeye staff reporter.

I cover sports. Currently football and volleyball. I plan on hopefully attending Syracuse University where I’ll then go study in the Newhouse School of Communications and major in journalism and become a sports journalist from there.

My ultimate career goal is to cover the Los Angeles Clippers or become a sports reporter for any team in New York (Except the Yankees or Mets because I detest baseball)

Fun fact: I love Instagram and you should follow me @irvin13zhang
