Ella Narag, Senior Copy Editor

Hello! My name is Ella, and I am a senior studying integrative biology honors and global studies, with minors in chemistry and German. I’m currently a Senior Copy Editor, and I love editing our staff’s stories! I joined The Daily Illini as a news writer in August 2022, and I served as News Editor from April 2023-24 and Special Sections Editor from April to December 2024. Outside of editing, I love to read and drink coffee! I’m looking forward to what The DI will keep doing here in Champaign-Urbana!
