FAMILY: Here are some of my most

memorable family moments!

Meeting my mom at the gym to do

Zumba in Auburn, AL

Talking with my dad for hours about

spirituality, politics, and his childhood

Playing Scrabble with my

grandmother in India

Going on runs with my brother through

Chennai, India

My dad always reminds me of how

he grew up: in a one room home with his 6-person family in India. He tells me

of his 3-mile trek to and from school

each day. Hearing his stories inspires me to aim high and makes me grateful for the life I have

been afforded.Above:Arthi and her family at her brother’s high school graduation in 2007

WILDLIFE:Here are some of my

favorite photos from a trip to Africa I took in

February 2014!

I chose to volunteer at Care for Wild , a wildlife rehabilitation center in South Africa, because I

have a major passion for animals. I wanted make an immediate impact on the lives of orphaned animals in hopes that the work I

did would contribute to the conservation of African

wildife.One day, once I have

fulfilled my professional goals, I hope to open my

own wildlife sanctuary for endangered wildlife.

Solo adventure in Africa

Witness the Great Migration in the Serengeti

Visit the Ngorongoro Crater in Tanzania

Volunteer at a wildlife rehabilitation center in South Africa

I am known as the travel agent within my family and within my group of friends. I

planned all of the trips described here and hope to share my talents with the

Sloan community by organizing treks to India or

Africa.Going on a solo trip, such as

my adventure in Africa, taught me to enjoy my own

company and to be self-reliant in fulfilling my own desires. Trips like these teach you to be ready for

anything!

AUBURN FOOTBALLThe photos below are representative of my Auburn Football experience!

Even though I grew up in Auburn, AL, I was not always a die hard Auburn

fan. Once I began my involvement as

a Tigerette, I became enthralled with the spirit of Auburn football. Winning certain

football games in the South provides bragging rights for

the whole year!
