Anna Jordan, Assistant Editor-in-Chief

Anna Jordan is currently a senior at Rosary and is participating in her third year of writing for the Royal Reporter and second year in Journalism as a staff writer. At Rosary, she is active in Book Club and Chess Club, while also leading Rosary’s Robotics Team. In her free time, she loves to code in several languages, read any book, and play with her two dogs. Anna is excited to learn more about Rosary’s residents through interviews with the faculty, staff, and student body, as she has always loved meeting new people to chat with on campus. She’s a proud Royal and can’t wait to bring her personality to yet another year of writing for the Royal Reporter.
