Perrine Tran

Perrine Tran, Arts & Entertainment Editor

Hi! I’m Perrine Tran (she/her). I’m a senior and the Arts and Entertainments Editor. I’ve been writing for the Evanstonian in A&E since my sophomore year and this is my third year on staff. This year, I’m excited to continue working on the Evanstonian and producing a great paper through page layout and innovative stories. I love the Evanstonian because it’s allowed me to connect with Evanston’s community and share stories that otherwise would be overlooked. Outside of the Evanstonian, I volunteer as a docent at the Evanston History Center, play violin, and work at a local shop. In my free time I enjoy reading, baking and spending time with friends.
