Saliha Ansari, Staff Writer

Hi, my name is Saliha Ansari! I am a Sophomore at ETHS and this is my second year writing as a Staff Writer for the Feature section. I like playing badminton, running cross country, painting, and hanging out with friends. I enjoy writing for The Evanstonian because I get a chance to learn more about my community, meet new people, and share my writing with others!
