WHO WE IS:

ALEX ADLER
Alex Adler hails from the bright lights of New York. He can't stand rain or slush yet loves sun and snow, enjoys breakfast spreads, strong coffee, stoops, The Cure, bathtubs with TVs, and likes to think he can relate to the "Naive Melody" by The Talking Heads. [Online Editor]

AKU AMMAH-TAGOE
Aku Ammah-Tagoe tells everyone, all the time, that she can unwrap a Starburst with her tongue. She's into modernism and postmodernism and vacillates wildly between majors. She might tell you she's from Washington, D.C. or Rockville, MD, but she's not. It's hard to explain. [Literature Section Editor]

SYDNEY ENGLE
Sydney comes from London, England - sorta. She thinks Latin is just great and absurd body art is the best. Once, for a little while, she sat on a table, topless, surrounded by salad. Kinda like Alex, she likes to relate to the song "Popsicle Toes" by Michael Franks. [Editor-in-Chief]

JONATHAN GIUFFRIDA
Jonathan Giuffrida is a Classics major from Richmond, Virginia. He likes poetry, progressive movements, and bunny rabbits. He despises the 1980s with every fiber of his being. [Associate Editor]

MANON GRAY
Manon is the film editor for The Review. She hails from the proud city of Austin, Texas, where she learned to fake her hipster cred. Even though she hopes to study film seriously as a comparative literature major, she loves her blockbusters as much as the next person. [Film Section Editor]

ANDREW GROSS
Andrew grew up in Port Washington, New York. He is majoring in music composition, and wants to pursue a career in music or film. He enjoys writing short autobiographies in the third person. [Marketing Director]

MARK GUIDUCCI
Mark Guiducci was raised in sunny San Diego where he was horrified by grey clouds. Since moving back East, he has developed an extensive collection of raincoats. He enjoys getting to know cab drivers, people watching like Alvy and Annie, Girltalk, and would like to spend the night in Central Park's Belvedere Castle. Nonostante il suo nome, Mark é italiano solo minimamente. [On-the-Town Section Editor]

PAAVANA KUMAR
Paavana lives in London, but wishes she lived in Prague. She likes scotch, surrealism and Sartre in equal amounts, plays Ravel when she's stressed and is widely known as The Girl with the Red Leather Bag. She is the only person she knows who thought Gran Torino was the film of the decade. [Creative Team]

ALICE LLOYD GEORGE
Alice hails from London, though grew up in Hong Kong and
is into all things Asia. She loves travelling, fantasizes about being
a 19th century explorer, and wishes she could speak Welsh. She
is fond of her cactus Raoul, though he suffers from certain
gravity issues and currently wears a neck-brace. [Editor Emeritus]

MAX MADUKA
Max Maduka would prefer to remain anonymous. [EIC Emeritus]

AVA MCALPIN
Ava is a philosophy major from New York City. She loves reading about food, writing about it, cooking and most of all eating--really doing anything related to gastronomy, even philosophizing about it: "Is it possible to eat in every restaurant that exists in New York in a single moment, or can that goal never be reached since new establishments are constantly opening while old ones close?" [Staff Writer]

KATY PINKE
Katy is a class of 2010 East Asian Studies major who can't remember how she got there but likes it. She is a peripheral member of the band "Brainsluts." She has a burning crush on Maya Deren. [Culture Section Editor]

LAURA ROBERTSON
Laura's grandfather dropped out of high school and joined the circus as the motorcyclist in the wire sphere thing and her half-brother is a professional juggler and DDR champion in Atlanta. Other things of note: Laura won $100 from Disney in an art competition when she was 5, and she still makes glue-stick, magazine cut-out "collage" masterpieces in her spare time. [Managing Editor]

WILL SABORIO
Will Saborio is from New Orleans. He enjoys reading and writing, music and politics, this and that. He accidently poked a kid's eye out in kindergarten. He's over it, but he's not so sure about the other guy. [Marketing Team]

TAMARA SPITZER-HOBEIKA
Tamara comes from Paris, France. She thinks that life is just a bowl of cherries, speaks five languages, likes to travel by train, and hates tourists who go around museums taking pictures instead of appreciating the works of art. She can also bake a mean blondie. [Staff Writer]

ADAM TANAKA
Adam Tanaka is from London, among other funky places like Brazil, France, Japan and Texas. His music tastes are pretty diverse: favourite musicians include David Bowie, Madonna, and the Wu-Tang Clan. He wants to be a music critic when he grows up - "writing for the Review every month for the rest of my life wouldn't be too bad," he says. [Marketing Team]

MONIQUE SAREH YASHAYA
Monique Yashaya is fond of middle names and accents (and insists on using both whenever possible). Although originally from New York, she now likes to think of herself as a citizen of the world, particularly since The Great Awakening of 2006 when she realized she really does look ambiguously ethnic. Pre- 5pm she can be seen toting a Grande, Non-fat, 1-splenda, Extra Dry cappuccino- as for post, possibilities abound. [EAL Emeritus]
