Anna Ceja, Assistant News Editor

Hi! My name is Anna Ceja, and I’m a sophomore majoring in political science with a minor in Portuguese. I’m originally from the south suburbs of Chicago and have been writing for The Daily Illini since the spring of my freshman year. In my free time, I enjoy binge-watching “Suits,” trying new recipes, working out at the ARC or enjoying a nice cup of coffee. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions, comments or just want to chat!
