Rishika Joshi

I'm in my last semester as a chemical engineering student, and I've been in leadership positions throughout my undergraduate life. Currently, I serve as the AS controller, or CFO, for Associated Students, the student government entity at my university. I've held this position for the last year. Before being elected as the controller for the student body, I served as the director of sustainability affairs on the student board. My typical day starts in the morning with meetings for my on-campus leadership positions. Once my meetings are done, I head over to my classes, which usually wrap up around 5 to 6 p.m., though some classes last until 7:30. After classes, I get done with my assignments and any projects, meeting with my project groups since I'm a senior. I also catch up on additional work for my leadership positions, hang out with my friends, and play some games before the day ends. My most notable achievement so far has been landing an internship at Slack National Laboratory at Stanford. I'm a student member of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers, both at our university's student chapter and in the overall organization. I previously worked as the treasurer for the student club for that organization on campus. Outside of school and work, I love to cook and invite my friends over to make meals for them. I like to experiment with flavors. I also like to paint in my free time.
