Bridget Durkin

Bridget Durkin, Sports Editor

Hello! My name is Bridget Durkin (she/her). I am a senior and the Sports Editor. This is my third year on staff, and I’ve really grown to love and appreciate the community this club has given me. Ever since I was little, my dad and I would watch Ohio State football and basketball games together, and he would read me the articles about them. Because of that, I’ve always had a passion for sports writing, and the Evanstonian has been the perfect fit for me. Outside of writing, I play soccer and will continue playing at Northeastern University next fall. I also enjoy cooking and going thrifting with my friends.
