Hi, my name is Hanshika! I was born and raised in northern Virginia, twenty minutes outside of Washington DC, with my mom, dad, and older brother. In my free time, I love baking, listening to music, hanging out with friends, playing volleyball, and watching Brooklyn nine-nine. I also have an interest in photography, and traveling to new places around the globe and learning about other cultures.

At Penn State, I plan on pursuing a major in biotechnology in the Eberly College of Science. I also hope to meet many new people and make amazing memories and experiences!
