Bridget Durkin – The Evanstonian

Bridget Durkin, Sports writer

Hello!! My name is Bridget Durkin (she/her). I am a junior sports writer for the Evanstonian. This is my second year writing and I have really grown to love and appreciate the community this club has offered me. Ever since I was able to walk, my dad and I would watch all the Ohio State football and basketball games and he would read me the articles on the games. Thanks to this, I have always had a passion for sports writing and the Evanstonian has been the perfect fit for me. Besides writing, I play soccer and hope to continue my athletic journey in college. I also enjoy cooking and going thrifting with my friends.
