Margaret Dillingham – The Evanstonian

Margaret Dillingham, Staff Writer

Hi! My name is Margaret Dillingham (she/her). I am a junior and a writer for the News section of the Evanstonian. This is my first year on staff. I write for the Evanstonian because it is an important part of the ETHS community and I wanted to be able to contribute to that. Outside of the Evanstonian, I participate in theater, including YAMO. I am also an exec board member of Ambassadors and a leader in the community service club. Outside of ETHS, I work at Sew on Central and love to spend time with my dog Pearl!
