About Me
Rashi's journey began with writing poetry. Her passion for writing soon brought her to the world's first journalism school at the University of Missouri. She is now a junior studying Investigative Convergence journalism with a focus in business journalism. Middle schooled in Australia, high schooled and brought up in India and now pursuing her college degree in America, she has gained a global perspective on journalism.
