Ananya Pinnamaneni, Features Editor

Ananya joined the Tribune because she thought it would be a great way for her to stay informed on current events and improve her writing skills. She did Journey for 2 years in middle school and was in J2 last year. One interesting fact about Ananya is that her name means unique. Her favorite song at the moment is WYD Now by Sadie Jean and her favorite TV show Crash Landing On You. If she could be any other person on the Tribune, she would be Nethra because she's very kind and quirky.
