Varahi

Hi everyone! My name is Varahi and I absolutely love biology! Throughout high school, I've taken three different biology courses (Honors, Honors II, and AP), and liked what I was doing more and more each time. A little bit about me: I have a little brother who I somehow manage to get along with - at least sometimes - and a puppy named Coco. Both of my parents are really big science nerds, and I am, too, so I guess that just runs in the family. By pursuing bio courses at school and becoming involved in science-related extra curricular activities has only strengthened my liking for subjects like biology and human anatomy, which is why I am so excited for Monday ! And after my first lab in AP Bio performing gel electrophoresis, I knew genetics was something I would always be fascinated by.

Besides academics, I am also an avid reader - anything from Harry Potter to Darwin's evolution journals - and sometimes all I need is a pile of good books, and you probably won't hear from me for a week. I also love to dance, I have been learning classical Indian dancing since I was 8, and it's a very important part of my life. Performing at competitions and recitals are definitely one of my favorite aspects of dance - in fact, I just had a big recital yesterday!

I look forward to meeting you all!
