Lara Friedman, Staff Writer

Hello! My name is Lara Friedman. I’m a junior and a staff writer for News on the Evanstonian. This is my second year being part of the paper and it has been so much fun! Creating articles for the Evanstonian has helped me improve my writing in so many ways. Additionally, I am president of Health Center Ambassadors and one of the board members for HOSA. I love community service and being part of the student government called Student Union. Outside of ETHS, I am an Endeavor Health Volunteer and love to play tennis!
