Ani Mehta-Shah (’27) is excited to be joining The Forum as a first-year staff writer. She hopes to explore how politics shape the Latin community and to shed light on conflicts that impact students and faculty, aiming to make more voices heard. At school, Ani serves as a Grade Representative, co-heads the Asian Student Alliance, plays on the tennis team, and is an active member of Latin’s Difficult Dialogues committee. Outside of school, she loves spending time with animals, exploring different neighborhoods across Chicago, and enjoying any kind of live music.
