Ethan Ravi, Assistant News Editor

Hi! My name is Ethan Ravi (he/him). I am a sophomore, and this year I’m an Assistant News Editor. This is my second year on staff, last year I was a staff writer. I love writing for the Evanstonain because there are so many stories to tell about Evanston and its residents. Outside of the paper, I play tennis for the ETHS team, work at a local tennis shop, and participate in peer tutoring. In my free time, I enjoy reading, gardening, playing the piano, and drinking coffee.
