Emma Thomas – The Evanstonian

Emma Thomas, Design Executive Editor

Hi! My name is Emma Thomas (she/her). I am a senior and the Design Executive Editor for the Evanstonian. This is my fourth year on staff, and I have previously served as the Photo Editor and Assistant Photo and Art Editor, as well as being a photographer all four years. This year, I am excited to expand the creativity of the paper and foster community. I look forward to brainstorming design ideas and collaborating with others, and ultimately taking the paper’s appearance to the next level. Beyond the Evanstonian, I am a rower on the ETHS Rowing Team and a member of E-Town Sunrise. Outside of school, I love spending time outdoors, listening to music, traveling, and spending time with friends and family.
