Brief Biographical Sketch:

Hi!! I'm Shruthi, a first year at MIT and I'm so pumped to be a teacher for Splash this year!! I'm originally from Cleveland, OH - home of basketball, rock and roll, and lots and lots of corn :) I'm really interested in using engineering to make people's lives better - specifically in the medical field and am thinking of majoring in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, and Biological Engineering! In my spare time, I sing with the MIT Ohms - MIT's South Asian A Capella team (with my co-teacher, the lovely Disha <3), go hiking, and look for good vegetarian drunken noodles around Cambridge (hit me up with any recommendations!)! So excited to be part of this wonderful program and can't wait to meet you all!
