Odessa Winn, Staff Writer

Hi! My name is Odessa Winn. I’m a sophomore, and a writer for the in-depth section of The Evanstonian and it is my first year writing. My favorite thing about writing for The Evanstonian is telling stories in order to better understand them, and a different perspective. Outside of ETHS, I am a circus performer at The Actors Gymnasium and I’ve been performing there for five years. I love art and I love to create it and that’s why I’m so excited to be writing for The Evanstonian this year.
