Sarah Parisien, Staff Writer

My name is Sarah Parisien and I am a second-year staff writer in The Evanstonian’s feature section. Outside of the newspaper, I am a dance director for YAMO, a SOAR Board member, and dancer. I love spending time with family and friends, reading and drinking coconut water. The Evanstonian provides me with an outlet for creative and critical expression along with a community that pushes me to be the best version of myself.
