Diya Contractor (Fall)

Diya Contractor (Fall), Special Sections Editor and Opinion Editor

My name is Diya Contractor (she/her/hers). I’m a junior from Sugar Land, TX majoring in political science and minoring in business. I work as the opinion and special section editor for the Trinitonian. Aside from that, I’m also a peer tutor and president of TU Rotaract. In my very limited free time I enjoy crocheting, reading, and booing during presidential press conferences.
