Cherry Hill Convention Commitee (CHCC)
Nirav Patadia, 25, Registration Committee Chair Jai Jinendra! I am currently residing in New York City working as a Systems Analyst at USI. I received my Telecommunications Engineering degree from Mumbai. I was born in USA, raised in India and now working in USA. I am a complete sports buff. I try to indulge myself into whatever outdoor games I can find time for (and afford!). I love traveling to new places and trying out new foods. I love the fast life and the buzz of living in a mega cosmopolitan - a la Mumbai and New York.
YJA Board/CHCC
Prachi Shah, 19, Site Committee Chair Hi! I will be going into my sophomore year of college at Rutgers University New Brunswick in Fall 2010. My major is undecided. I am from central New Jersey and have been there my whole life. I love to dance and have been dancing since i could walk. I have graduated from two different Indian classical dances. I love the color blue and Winnie the Pooh (as kiddish as that sounds). I am a fun and relaxed person to be around.
Prerak Adhuria, 24, Hospitality Committee Chair Can I get a Jai Jinendra?! My name is Prerak Adhuria and I am from Philadelphia, PA. Currently, I finished my Biology degree from Penn State en route to working in the pharmaceutical field. I have an extreme ambition for sports, especially for football! My favorite hobby is definitely traveling. In fact, I became involved with YJA while visiting various Jain Derasars across the US! Shout out to Detroit!
Riddhi Jhaveri, 22, Souvenirs Committee Chair Jai Jinendra! I am currently studying Doctorate in Physical Therapy from SUNY Downstate Medical, NY. I was born and brought up in "Amchi Mumbai" and migrated to USA in 2006. I have been an active JIVA Youth member in Jain Center of America, NY. I love socializing, making new friends and dancing. I have choreographed for Mahavir Jayanti events for the past 3 years. My dream is to have a PT Clinic where Dance Movement Therapy would highly be encouraged.
Rushabh Jhaveri, 25, Member at Large Jai Jinendra. I have always strived to live life and enjoy every passing second. I am currently working as a Gait Training Specialist in Manhattan, New York, and simultaneously working to obtain a PhD in Kinesiology with a specialization in Motor Learning & Control from Columbia University. YJA has been my second family since October 2009. When I am not busy working, I eat, drink & sleep cricket! Hope ya'll have a wonderful time at the convention!! See you there! :)

I am currently a senior at the University of Connecticut where I am studying Speech Therapy/Audiology. Some of my interests include dancing, playing tennis, reading and swimming. I love summer and going to the beach!
Suhani Shah, 24, Social Programming Committee Chair Jai Jinendra! I graduated from the University of the Sciences in Philadelphia (USP) in 2009 with a PharmD degree. Currently, I am wrapping up with my PGY-1 Pharmacy Practice residency at Christiana Care Hospital in Delaware, where I will be taking on the Clinical Pharmacist position. I enjoy traveling, playing soccer (Drug's R US!) and spending time with my family and friends. I love teaching pharmacology classes at UDel, dancing, and volunteering at one of DE's local camps for kids with cancer.
