Brief Biographical Sketch:
Hi, I'm Roshini, an MIT alum (majored in BioEngineering (course 20!) and Music (21M)). I was born in India but I've lived in the Boston area for 12 years. I'm interested in bio research and have picked up a burgeoning interest in jazz. In addition, I'm a big fan of chocolate, especially with peanut butter. I'm also a big fan of the Red Sox and Quentin Tarantino. I like swimming (not in the Charles) and my hobbies include science fiction, finding new music to listen to and spending way too much time on the internet.
