i Magazine editorial staff
Harbani Ahuja is a freshman majoring in Finance. She was a writer and editor on her high school’s first literary magazine team, and she loves to read poetry and short stories. She also loves to write in her free time and has been writing poetry since she was six. Harbani is currently working on a short story that she hopes to get published one day, along with her poetry (preferably in something a little more prestigious than the children’s writing section of the Staten Island Advance, where her first poem, “Spring,” was featured). Harbani is looking forward to reading some great work and is very excited to be part of i Magazine.
Kylie Chan - After having great experiences in participating in past literary magazines, Kylie Chan continues on with Baruch’s i Magazine. When she’s not having chronic writer’s block or being burdened with an abundance of novels and essays that she has to catch up on for class, she’s either sprouting figments of her imagination, track-changing papers, or sleeping.
Darryl Gladstone - Shy yet aggressive. Although the two adjectives are surely a paradox, that's what best describes Darryl Gladstone. Darryl, whose emotive alter ego is best reflected through his writing, is a second-year student who aspires to be a magazine journalist. Adoring writers from magazines like GQ, Details, and The New Yorker, Darryl joined the i Magazine editorial staff in hopes of getting a feel for the ever-developing writing world. Although he began his Baruch career as an accounting major, the writing world has always been a strong passion of his. Despite his lack of experience in the field, prior to i Magazine, he feels very confident that his time with i Magazine will help open other doors that will help him further prepare for his dream career. He hopes that he will have a large impact on Baruch's first online literary magazine and ultimately a huge effect on the journalism world.
