Anita Balakrishnan

Once upon a time, there were a lot of problems in the world – and after working in politics, public health, science and the public school system she decided that maybe being a writer wasn’t so nonsensical. In fact, Anita decided that tangible policy changes come best from the communities who are affected by them – and that those communities need a voice more than ever.

A DU undergraduate double-majoring in ecology and economics and the editor-in-chief of the DU student newspaper, Anita is pursuing work in journalism with the hopes of communicating issues of sustainability, social justice, education and wellness in Denver and beyond, to reach the goal of creating workable community solutions through the honest voices of everyday citizens.

A former Lifestyles editor and news writer, Anita is interested in spotlighting, scooping and connecting you to the writer that will tell your story.
