Olivia Ohlson – The Evanstonian

Olivia Ohlson, Staff Writer

Hey! My name is Olivia Ohlson (she/her), and I am a sophomore at ETHS. I wrote for The Evanstonian last year as a staff writer for the sports section and I am excited to be in sports again! I have always loved writing and interviewing and I love sports so choosing the sports section was a no brainer! I enjoy talking with athletes and coaches and sharing information about our sports teams with the student body! Outside of writing I love to play sports and am a member of the softball, basketball and golf teams. I also enjoy making art, playing guitar, listening to music, participating in and leading community service projects and spending time with my friends and family.
