Daphne is the graceful online editor in chief. Starting at age four, Daphne has been training to become a concert pianist. Just kidding, she prefers not to play the piano. But she does play violin wonderfully and has been part of the Missouri All-State Orchestra for two years in a row. When not playing instruments or fine-tuning the ROCK’s website, Daphne likes to hate math and science (unusual because she’s Asian) and cuddle with teddy bears.
