I’m here as a resource for all of you, so please don’t hesitate to reach out, whether you have questions or just want to hang out. I can’t wait to meet everyone and make the most of this year together!

Fourth year, Cognitive Science (Interaction & Design)

My favorite side quest is walking to Gliderport to watch the sunset. Sometimes the view isn’t worth the walk, but at least I get to see cute little dogs along the way. I’m also a big fan of anything adorable and already have a growing collection of trinkets in my dorm room! Overall, I’m always down to try new things and know a few great spots to grab a good latte :)

Hey everyone! I’m Ashutosh — a junior studying Economics from India who’s equally obsessed with cricket and stock market charts. When I’m not tracking trades or planning my next finance project, you’ll probably find me hyping up ideas for our next big event. Can’t wait to bring that same energy to hosting some insanely fun nights for all our residents this year!
