About Petrana Radulovic

Petrana Radulovic is an entertainment reporter at Polygon, where she specializes in writing about animation and fandom culture. Since 2018, Petrana has expanded those beats and flexed her knowledge of Disney, theme parks, and young adult fantasy franchises. A graduate of the University of Florida, she double-majored in computer science and English, of all combinations. When she’s not writing for work, Petrana is usually writing for fun, watching anime, or playing RPGs where you can smooch characters (or writing about those anime or RPGs). Her favorite Pokémon is Robert, her faithful Quilava.
