Ash Mehta, Managing Editor

Ash (Class of 2023) joined Anthro in sophomore year because they’re very passionate about equality and social justice, and they want a platform to be able to share their views. Also, they absolutely love writing, and felt that Anthro combined both of those interests. When not writing for Anthro, they can be found working on their novel, reading, and playing video games with their sibling.
