I am a first year at Barnard and so excited to be here! I think I want to study economics but I'm open to trying lots of different things and taking a variety of classes to explore different areas. Education is one of those things that I hadn't even thought about as a potential field of study so I'm excited to take this class because it sounded really interesting! Some of my other interests include politics, international relations, journalism, and math.

I was born in London, moved to San Antonio, TX when I was 1, and have been living in Dallas since 2009. I love how diverse Dallas is and the food is awesome! Some of my favorite places are the farmers market and the Dallas Museum of Art.

My family is Gujarati (from the state of Gujarat) and we speak Gujarati at home. But most most of my extended family lives in the city of Mumbai. I love Bollywood movies and Indian food. Fun fact: my name means 'happiness' in Hindi :)

My favorite food is definitely bhinda. It's an Indian okra dish that's super flavorful and awesome with roti or naan.
