Supriya Yelimeli

Supriya Yelimeli has been moonlighting as an intern for The Indy‘s news department, covering stories from rappers People Under The Stairs to justice John Paul Stevens. The UCSB second-year communications major told us she tends to spend the rest of her “waking moments at the Daily Nexus in a bunker under Storke Tower.” Last May she said she found a love for stories on human empowerment and resistance after helping report a 13-hour sit-in by survivors of sexual assault at UCSB. Known as our intern style-pick, Yelimeli is generous with her knowledge, too, showing us how to use a nifty sliding photo widget. And thanks for the chili chocolate, Supriya!
