She/Her

Esha is from Columbus, Indiana, and anticipates majoring in psychology. During her time at IU, she looks forward to exploring new avenues, developing new skills, and meeting new people, as well as studying in Europe, which appeals to her because of its rich and diverse cultural history. Esha’s model is the Pakistani activist Malala Yousafzai: “I was inspired at a young age to see a fellow South Asian girl standing up for what she believes in, especially an issue as important as education.” A beloved movie of hers is Om Shanti Om, for its cinematic magic, beautiful soundtrack, and entertaining storyline. A simple observation by Albus Dumbledore from the Harry Potter novels speaks to her: "Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.” Her most important value is integrity.
