Annisyn Krebs-Carr, Arts & Entertainment Editor

Hi, I’m Annisyn! I am currently a junior majoring in journalism and minoring in animal sciences. I started with The Daily Illini in Fall 2023 as a buzz staff writer, and became Arts & Entertainment Editor in Spring 2025. I’m excited to be a part of The DI editorial team, and I’m looking forward to writing more A&E content. When I’m not writing for The DI, I enjoy playing with my dogs and watching movies. For any questions or concerns, feel free to contact me at my email below.
