Hi! I’m Saankhya, but you can call me Kya! I’m a second-year Finance major and a Georgia native who absolutely loves calling UGA home. Outside of school, I love anything creative. I’m really into henna art, painting, and pretty much any DIY project I can get my hands on! I also love trying new restaurants and coffee shops around Athens, watching TV shows, and spending time with my friends. I’m always down to explore campus and Athens, especially when it means finding a new hidden gem. I’m a big people person and love meeting new people, hearing their stories, and making new connections. I’m so excited to meet you, show you around, and hopefully help you feel at home at UGA!

Peachtree Ridge High School

The Terry Quad because I think it is such a nice place to study and get fresh air. It is also one of the central places on campus but it is tucked away so it is never busy.
