Hi there! My name is Mariat Thankachan and I’m Co-Editor- in-Chief of The Vision. Aside from writing and editing articles, I enjoy painting landscapes, playing tennis, and petting puppies. After I graduate from MSMS in 2018, I hope to one day become a pediatrician or maybe a physical therapist. Serving as a Photography Editor last year was an amazing experience, and I’m extremely excited for a great year working with the MSMS journalism crew!
