Ena Mekic, Copy Editor

Hi! My name is Ena, I’m a junior and I’m a copy editor this year. When I’m not copy editing stories I love playing tennis, going on bike rides and trying new boba places with my friends. I also love listening to music which is why I’m an avid concert-goer. You can find me at local shows, especially at my favorite venues Caydence Records and 7th Street Entry :)
