Jillian Koenig, Eastside Editor-In-Chief

Jillian Koenig is one of the Print Editors-in-Chief for Eastside this year. When Jillian isn’t busy working on the current Eastside issue, she can be found discussing anything and everything about Taylor Swift, watching Legally Blonde (a cinematic masterpiece) or diving into a Panera Bread grilled cheese. Along with Eastside, Jillian is involved in Girls Who Code, Cum Laude, FOP and girls’ tennis at East. She’s so excited for another successful year for Eastside and to make more memories with the editorial board!
