Hi, I’m Annisyn! I am currently a sophomore majoring in journalism. I started with The Daily Illini in Fall 2023 as a buzz staff writer, and became Assistant Arts & Entertainment Editor in Fall 2024. I’m excited to be a part of The DI editorial team, and I’m looking forward to writing more arts and entertainment 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.
