Zarina Yunis, Editor-in-Chief

Zarina Yunis is a senior and the Editor-in-Chief of the Howler. When she's not cramming for school, Zarina enjoys playing basketball, going to the same three places with her friends, buying overpriced drinks that she's developed an addiction to, and starting Netflix shows but never finishing them. She can likely be found at home in her room, which now she hardly leaves.
