Sneha Cheenath, Editor in Chief

Sneha joined the Tribune because she thought it would be a great way to stay in touch with the happenings of her community and meet new people. This is her fourth year in journalism. As a sophomore, she served as a sports editor and spent her third year as a Managing Editor. She is now excited to be the Co-Editor in Chief. Sneha absolutely adores Little Mix, and constantly has Taylor Swift and FLETCHER on repeat. She loves cats, though cats do not love her — especially her own. If she could be anyone on the Tribune, she would be Amrita because of her cheery disposition and top tier writing skillz
