Maria Duan, Staff Writer
Maria Duan (‘23), a boarding student from Beijing, China, resides in San Francisco when not living at school. She has a deep interest in world languages, having lived in Beijing, Buenos Aires, and San Francisco before coming to Webb. As a polyglot, she can speak Chinese, English, and Spanish and hopes to add French soon. Playing the piano is one of her passions, having done it for almost a decade. She participates in annual tests that examine both technical skill level and knowledge of music. She is an avid reader and prefers novels that explore complex themes with deep moral such as inequality. She is always open to hear different perspectives on a range of topics and enjoys probing moral and ethical issues in pursuit of testing her beliefs. At the Webb Canyon Chronicle, Maria looks forward to writing about a variety of topics and hopes to have readers reconsider their own beliefs.
