The Burlingame B
Hubert Chen

Hubert Chen, Senior Reporter

Hubert Chen is a Senior at Burlingame High School and a third year student of Journalism. During his first two year at the Burlingame B, Hubert learned a lot about Journalism. He has written many articles, designed many pages, and drawn many cartoons. Outside of school, he enjoys participating in the BHS robotics team, playing video games, and cycling. Hubert enjoys lots of music from the 20th century, ranging from bands such as Chicago all the way to Dream Theater. Since he is still a small and undeveloped human, Hubert is not exactly sure what he wants to do with his life but has shown a lot of interest in the topics of mechanical engineering and robotics.
