Paula Hlava, Staff Writer

Hi! My name is Paula Hlava and I am a writer for In-Depth. I am a freshman, so this is my first year writing for the paper. My pronouns are she/her/hers. I write for the Evanstonian because I love to inform people and I feel that the work we’re doing is beneficial to sustaining a safe and comfortable school environment. Outside of the Evanstonian, I do ETHS theater. For fun, I love to act, journal, go shopping, go on walks, bake, and spend time with my pets and friends!
