Jemima McEvoy, Editor-in-Chief

Jemima McEvoy is a junior studying Politics, Economics and Languages in CAS. Maybe it’s because she grew up in the British countryside, but she’s completely intoxicated by life and art in New York City. She’s passionate about music, literature and filling journals halfway. When she’s not wondering around the streets smiling, she’s likely writing or hastily sketching the goingson of Washington Square Park. She really likes words, but you’re probably not surprised.
