Amrita Ahuja
Email Contact:
amritaa@uw.edu
Hi, I’m Amrita and I’m currently a senior in Oceanography and minoring in Real Estate. I’ve been at UW since 2019 and hail from Calcutta, India. My free time is mostly spent trying new recipes or going on walks. I absolutely love the ocean and ocean-related things. I recently finished my research cruise to Fiji for my senior thesis and am currently working on my thesis. However, I would love to get to know more people in the Real Estate department and try to ease students, especially international students into this department. I am very keen on understanding how different students have different perspectives on housing, depending on where they’re from since my own knowledge was quite different when I initially joined. I am available via email and available to set up meetings outside of my office hours via zoom. Please don’t hesitate to reach out and let’s aim to connect our community even more.
