Reena Guben, Staff Writer

Hi! My name is Reena Guben (she/her). I’m a junior and a writer for the News Section. I joined The Evanstonian because I want to use my love for writing to bring light to topics I deeply care about. Outside of The Evanstonian, I’m a part of Emerge as an Initiative Facilitator and an Activities staffer for the Yearbook. In my free time, I love watching Gilmore Girls and making playlists on Spotify!
