Meera Field, Staff Writer

Hi! My name is Meera Field (she/her). I’m a junior and I write for Arts and Entertainment. This is my third year writing for The Evanstonian, and I’m excited to continue writing about things I care about. The Evanstonian has allowed me to explore the community, meet new people, and further my interest in writing. Outside of The Evanstonian I’m part of Student Ambassadors, Emerge, Community Service tutoring, and I also work at Union Pizzeria! I enjoy hanging out with friends and family, listening to music, reading, and museums.
