Hi! My name is Hope Vezner (she/her), I’m a sophomore, and this is my first year as a staff writer. I was inspired to join The Evanstonian because of my love for writing and my fondness of getting to know the community and people around me. Outside of ETHS, I play the guitar and piano and I do a lot of babysitting and pet-sitting. In my free time I love to read, listen to music, watch TV, and take my dogs to dog parks.
