Ilana Arougheti, Eastside Editor-In-Chief

Ilana Arougheti has been on the Eastside editorial board for three years, but her distaste for Comic Sans and her loyalty to Times New Roman are just as strong as on day one. She’s a big proponent of crewneck sweatshirts, indie bookstores, dark chocolate, and freedom of the press. Ilana can be found around East at all hours, editing in F087, painting sets for the theater department, or running down the hallway between club meetings. She’s grateful to have journalism in her life because it allows her to open others’ eyes to the new worlds they might otherwise never have found inside their own. Don’t ask her about the time she spent in the Chicago area last summer unless you’re ready for her to talk your ear off.
