Hi! I’m Shamini Mahendran, I am currently a staff writer for the CHAT. I am a sophomore, and in my first year writing for the newspaper. In my free time I enjoy running, traveling, playing sports, and hanging out with my friends. I am also a World Champion in Taekwondo! I am super grateful to be part of such an amazing team of writers and I'm super excited to see my writing development in the next year.
