Hi there! My name is Ashita, and I'm an astrophysics and music undergraduate student at the University of Calgary. I love data, research, reports, and all things related to space. I have a passion for self-improvement and have thrusted myself into a variety of extracurricular and leadership roles in the past few years - ranging from being a science lead for my school's space rover team, to being an executive for one of the largest clubs on campus, and writing articles about science and underrepresented voices at my university's newspaper company.
One of my professional goals is increasing the accessibility of education, arts, and sport to underrepresented groups. In my free time, I love playing the violin, creative writing, and playing contact sports like MMA and rugby.
If all this aligns with your company's or project's vision, I'd love to connect further!
