Dhruvi Raichada

I am an international student from India and I have been in Canada for the past 4 years. During my time in Canada, I was excited to explore different things, which pushed me to always try new activities. I worked different part-time jobs along with multiple volunteer opportunities. In my free time, I like trying out new activities (outdoor and indoor). Go Karting is currently the activity I am most obsessed with along with ice skating.
