Hi! My name is Keira Beaudoin (she/her). I’m a junior, and I’m the Assistant News Editor. This is my third year on the Evanstonian, and I have previously been a staff writer, mostly writing in the News section. I love working on the Evanstonian because it helps me both connect to my community and become a better writer. Outside of the paper, I swim at ETHS, am an Emerge facilitator, compete on the math team, and am an Integirls board member. In my free time, I like to read, write, and spend time with friends.
