Shreeya is a first-year planning to pursue politics and data science once she transitions out of the Liberal Studies Core. A California native, she deems New York City’s weather inhabitable after experiencing temperatures below 60 degrees for the first time. When she’s not running to her classes or in the office, she can usually be found on her millionth rewatch of “New Girl,” listening to the “Absolutely” album by Dijon on repeat or avidly people watching in Washington Square Park. You can find her on Instagram at @shreeya.goyal or email her at [email protected].
