Anya Gill, Staff Writer

Hi, I'm Anya Gill (she/her). I am a junior and the A&E Editor. This is my second year on staff, and previously I was a staff writer for A&E. Being a part of the Evanstonian allows me to explore topics I'm passionate about in my community, meet people I never would have met otherwise, and better my writing and editing skills. Outside of the Evanstonian, I play tennis, cook, and hang out with friends and family.
