Hi, I'm Saachi! As an international student, I know what it's like to arrive on a huge campus not knowing anyone and I've since found my community here, especially through Rutgers' dance scene. I'm a Psychology major with a minor in Dance, and when I'm not in class, you'll probably find me on my hip hop dance team, studying in the dining hall (partly for the unlimited food, no shame), or grabbing cookies with friends around campus. That mix of finding my footing here and genuinely loving the little things about Rutgers is exactly why I'd love to help incoming students feel that same sense of belonging as a tour guide.

Yoga since I learnt a lot of the meditative practices and it’s been the most effective in my life.

I hope do go into Dance therapy and help create a structure and program for people with mental illnesses.

Ideal way to spend a free night

Ideally I would like to spend time with my friends just hanging out singing karoke or playing games.

The yard because there’s so many food options and it’s very lively.
