As a first-generation Indian Immigrant, Roheeni Saxena is a junior at Wellesley College, double majoring in Peace and Justice Studies and Neuroscience.

At the end of undergrad, Roheeni hopes to work in a think tank and is primarily interested in the promotion of international cooperation, prevention of human rights violations, women’s sexual health issues, and gay rights.
