Udita Jonnala, Public Relations Manager

Udita enjoys journalism because it helps her write for change. She wants to use her voice to shine a spotlight on different issues and use her voice for a cause. Udita has been in journalism for 3 years (4 counting this year). One interesting fact about Udita is that she has been dancing for 8 years. Udita's goal for journalism is to cover different local stories and help shed a light on pressing issues in our community. If Udita could be any other person in the tribune, she would be Mayuri (graduated tribune member) since she contributed to many meaningful articles and was always very determined.
