Hi everyone! I’m Isha Patel, a freshman (class of 2028) from Danvers, MA. I am a prospective biochemistry major interested in taking a variety of humanities and social sciences courses at Amherst! I am also pre-med and want to become a future pediatrician.
Outside of academics, I am on some of the greatest club teams at Amherst–Ultimate Frisbee and Cricket, on the E-board of the South Asian Students Association, a member of Amherst Women In STEM, the Charles Drew Pre-Health Society, and the Amherst College Public Health Collaborative. Some fun facts about me are that I had never played cricket or ultimate frisbee until coming to Amherst, I am bilingual (Gujarati is my second language!), and I can read for eight hours straight without being bored.
If you have any questions about me, want book recommendations, want to learn more about the clubs I am involved in or want to know anything about Amherst, please don’t hesitate to reach out! You can find me at ipatel28@amherst.edu.
