About Me
Hi! I am Rohini Vyas, originally from Southern California, but residing in eastern Washington for college. I am a Biology, Pre-Med student, but I do make time for leisurely activities. I enjoy reading for pleasure when I can, exploring cities, sitting in coffee shops, and attending concerts.
Growing up, I was exposed to a variety of people who did not look like me. Moving to Washington made me realize how much I valued diversity. Anywhere I go, I try to make a point to make others realize the importance of integration and understanding other cultures. My main mode of communication is simply through conversations and attempting to convey the benefits of a worldly perspective.
