Anand Shah - Hi folks! My name is Anand Shah. I am a 6th year pharmacy student at SUNY Buffalo. I was born and brought up in Pune, India, I moved to the US 6 years ago. During my time in the US, YJA has really helped me keep my connection with my culture and religion, and at the same time allowed me to make great friends. I love spending time with my family and friends and in my free time I enjoy bowling, cricket and, baseball.
Roshni Sanghvi - "The harder you fall, the higher you bounce". I have always believed in this quote while in trouble. I Roshni Sanghvi am a recent graduate from SUNY Buffalo with a degree in Psychology. In my free time, I enjoy photography and am particularly fascinated with studio photography. With my family back in India, I have lived in the US for only three years now and YJA has been like my home away from home. I have cherished and enjoyed every moment I have spent with the YJA family. My favorite thing to do is watch movies with my little sister. Though I do not get to see her very often, we do make it a point to catch up with each other every now and then to watch movies. Apart from that, I love playing with my little pug called Pepsi. I love dogs and Pepsi is a true blessing in my life.
