Hi! I'm Anushka, an honors dual-degree student studying Math, Statistics, and Finance across Penn and Wharton. Having spent my time here as a TA, researcher, and student advisory board leader, I’ve gotten to know the academic ecosystem and every hidden corner of campus inside out. When I’m not in class or running along the Schuylkill, you'll usually find me training at the ice rink or finding the best study spots on Locust Walk. Whether you’re curious about navigating high-impact coursework, balancing dual-degree life and the performing arts, or just want an authentic, candid look at everyday student life in Philly, I’m excited to show you around!
