Mahika Arya, Web Editor in Chief

Mahika joined the Tribune in order to express her voice and opinions to the local community about topics she's passionate about. She joined her freshman year, became a copy editor her sophomore year, and Web Manager her junior year. Her favorite TV show is "Shadow and Bone" and her top three music artists are Conan Gray, Twenty One Pilots, and Taylor Swift (this is highly subject to change). If Mahika could be any other person on the Tribune, she would be Shereen because she's so kind and honest to everyone around her. Also, her hair is really nice.
