Ananya Chetia

Ananya Chetia is a rising senior at the University of Richmond majoring in journalism with a double minor in English and Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies. Ananya serves as an executive editor for her college newspaper and was a spring intern for Richmond Magazine, a lifestyle magazine in Richmond, Virginia. Before coming to study in the United States, Ananya lived in an oil compound in Saudi Arabia. Her upbringing made her think about how fossil fuels affect the planet and how different communities are more harmed than others by environmental changes. Ananya looks forward to joining an ambitious team of journalists asking the same questions that she has about climate change, global warming and how communities work to fight against or further harm the environment.
