Growing up in her parent’s ski lodge in Dover, VT, Aashna developed an affinity for connecting with people. From a young age, she felt a calling to make a meaningful impact. This journey began with selling handmade crafts at the Brattleboro Farmers’ Market kid’s days and ensuring that a quarter of the profits always went to causes close to her heart. Since then, she earned a BA in International Affairs with minors in Biology and Global Social Enterprise from Northeastern University, turned her table into a very small business, made some amazing friends, and realized that there is not nearly enough time for everything she wants to do (but she tries anyway). In her free time she can be found reading, watching Bollywood movies, experimenting in the kitchen, or working on one of her many projects.
