FLORIDA CONVENTION COMMITTEE
Amit Shah, Social Programming Commitee Co-Chair
Jai Jinendra! I was born and raised from Chi City aka: Chicago. I'm working to move farther in my Graphic Design Degree. I'm in love with everything Desi, and secretly wish my life was a Bollywood Movie! I'm one of the rare kind of guys who loves to dance, from Kathak to RaasGarba, and now I'm a proud alumni of the UIC Bhangra team, Brruah! I'm usually the life of the party with all my energy! And I'm very active in the Jain & Indian Community in Chicago.
Arti Shah, Member-at-Large
Jai Jinendra! I was born in Bombay, brought up in Asunción, Paraguay and currently living in Miami Florida. I am a soccer fanatic (and can't wait for the world cup 2014 in Brazil), love running, like odd numbers, doing bollywood/zumba workouts, chocoholic, traveling, learning new languages and trying different cuisines. Some things on my to-do list: Paragliding, watch at least one of the World Cup soccer matches at the stadium in Brazil & Climb Machu Picchu, Peru.

Darshan Shah, Public Relations Committee Co-Chair
What's up?! My name is Darshan Shah. I'm a senior at the University of Florida, perusing a degree in Agricultural and Biological Engineering, minoring in Dance. I was born and raised in the sunny suburbs of Orlando, Florida. I'm serving as PR co-chair for the 2012 YJA convention. My goal was to promote the YJA convention as an exciting and enlightening event. I'm definitely one of those "artsy-fartsy" types. I love to dance, sing, draw, and pretty much any other art form you can think of. Being raised in the south, I definitely have my southern moments (y'all is definitely part of my normal vocabulary). I'm outgoing, eccentric, and often a little crazy. I live every day to its fullest, and don't settle for anything less than amazing! st, and don't set
Hiren Patel, Co-Chair of Florida Convention Committee
Hey, I'm a Biomedical Engineer born in NYC and raised in New Jersey. I love playing Ultimate Frisbee, working out, and all water sports. I'm a Miami Heat fan (since 06) and enjoy any physical and mental challenges. I love logic puzzles and I have an inquisitive personality. I like to cook (but i'm better at doing dishes). My motto is "never live with fear, for each day could be your last." I dream of paradise not just for me, but for the entire planet and can't wait to see you there!
