What made you chose Drexel?I’m from suburban Long Island, New York and everything there was always really quiet. At first, I never would’ve seen myself committing to Drexel, but after visiting for the third time, I knew it was the place for me. I wanted to go to a school where life was exciting and eventful. Philadelphia has so many opportunities, which allowed me to make the most of the city, and expand my academic and personal growth. Also, Drexel’s co-op program is a great way for students to get a hands-on experience in the field they’re trying to pursue a career in, which was one thing that really stood out to me.
What organizations are you involved with on campus?I’m a part of Drexel Dandiya. We’re a competitive Indian dance team who perform Garba and Raas, two forms of dance .We travel to different states like Maryland and Texas, and compete to get to nationals!
What is your favorie Disney movie?Aladdin, of course! Abu is my favorite ♥
What is one thing on your bucket list?Last year for my birthday, I went skydiving in Los Angeles. It was one of the best experiences of my life, so I got to scratch that off my bucket list. The one I’m dying to do next is to go cliff jumping.
What’s your spirit animal?My spirit animal is the wolf. My life is my family. I wrap my mind and heart around them. I believe in the family network, and want them to be close to home. My home is where my family is, and that’s easy to see.
If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be and why?If I could live anywhere in this world it would have to be London because London is so beautiful! It is an interesting place to be with lots of different areas to visit and things to see.
