Hannah Cervantes, Assistant News Editor

Hi! I’m Hannah Cervantes, an assistant editor for the news section of the Evanstonian. I am in my junior year at ETHS and  my third year on staff. I have been in the news section of my school newspaper since 7th grade, but this year I have started taking more photos for my stories and a few others. Some things I have been enjoying are my new page design and layout skills, two things I learned about this year. Along with working for the Evanstonian, I also play field hockey and have 2 jobs outside of school.
