Sophie Yang, Arts & Entertainment Editor

Hi! My name is Sophie Yang (she/her) and this year I am a senior. This is my fourth year on staff and I am currently the Arts and Entertainment Editor. I love the energy and passion within the Evanstonian community and how it has allowed me to connect with people all over the school and greater Evanston community. I also love how the Evanstonian provides a place for me to write and explore my interests in film and media. Beyond the Evanstonian I’m involved with Science Olympiad, Peer Conference Club, EMERGE, and Asian Heritage Alliance. I love to play the piano, travel, and spend time with my friends and family.
