Meet 2024 intern Elena Unger

Elena is thrilled to join The Blade this summer as a reporting intern.

She is a rising senior at Yale University studying English and education. During her college career she has reported for the Yale Daily News and the Yale Herald. She also had the pleasure of editing the Reviews section of the Herald for the past two years.

Outside of school, Elena has reported for the New Haven Arts Paper, covering local exhibitions, community enrichment events, and emerging artists. Additionally, she worked as a writer for The Borgen Project, spotlighting innovative approaches to combating global poverty.

Elena is so excited to get to know The Blade community and the greater city of Toledo over the next 10 weeks. All tricks of the trade, pieces of solicited (or unsolicited advice), and recommendations will be deeply appreciated!
