Ena Mekic, Features Editor

Hi! My name is Ena and I’m a senior. This is my second year on Echo and I’m the Features editor this semester. When I’m not editing stories or designing pages in the Pub, you can find me playing tennis, going on bike rides or swimming with my friends. I can’t wait to work with everyone this year and publish a lot of features content!
