Mahdis is a York University graduate with an Honours BA in Professional Writing and a Certificate in Spanish Language Proficiency. She is also fluent in Farsi. She is a former staff writer, executive editor, and now current editor-in-chief at Excalibur. Mahdis is curious about the world, BIPOC stories, and passionate about writing as a platform for advocacy and representation. She hopes to one day add to the diversity of Canadian media both in the content it produces and as a staff member. When Mahdis is not scribbling away or editing or correcting people on the spelling of her name, she is either reading, staying active, or marathon-viewing thrillers and crime shows that oddly bear no impact on her sleep.
