Quentin was one of the editors for your literary arts magazine. Here are some quick things about him! He loves food. He loves cooking food, eating food, and trying food.

On top of being a huge foodie, he is also an avid music nerd with too many songs and genres to list, so really anything goes! It’s a dream of his to be able to travel and perform all around the world in the future, and really, he doesn’t have a preference when it comes to traveling.
