Meet intern Antonia ‘Anna’ Ayres-Brown

Anna is a student at Yale University and is  working as an intern at The Blade this summer.

During the school year, she studies International Human Rights and American Studies. She grew up in New Haven, Conn., and will be living on Collingwood Boulevard this summer, between the Old West End and Uptown.

Outside of class, she works as an editor for The New Journal, a long-form creative nonfiction magazine. Anna also edits Yale’s music magazine and has written for various on-campus and off-campus publications.

In the past, she has particularly enjoyed writing about crime, religion, and the arts. However, she is very excited to branch out this summer and help cover a broad range of subjects!

Anna enjoys singing and playing guitar during her free time. She also loves running, hiking, and spending time outdoors.

Her email is abrown@theblade.com and her work extension is 6368. Welcome, Anna.
