Hi guys! My name is Hridayesha, and I am a junior at the Tandon School of Engineering studying Mechanical Engineering. I am originally from Gaithersburg, Maryland. I love immersing myself in the vibrant city and learning about the new cultures that the city has to offer. Outside of being an Admissions Ambassador, I am part of the Tandon Student Council as well. I enjoy meeting new people and trying out new eats around the city!
