Mahi Kandage, Editor-In-Chief

As a senior at WA, this is my fourth year on the Ghostwriter, and my first as editor-in-chief. I’m interested in travel, yoga, and environmentalism. In the future, I hope to study politics and environmental studies and eventually attend law school. On the Ghostwriter, I enjoy editing, and writing opinions.
