Aashna Shah, Writer
Aashna is a third year student at the U studying math. The outdoors serves as a very special atmosphere for her because it has provided a platform for personal growth where the value of her accomplishments and experiences are solely intrinsic and absent from comparisons that plague her everyday life. It has provided unique moments of tranquility and joy that she finds herself actively chasing. She acknowledges that outdoor recreation is a privilege not often afforded to both racial and class minorities and is passionate about transforming this from a privilege to a right that can be experienced, valued, and conserved by all people. She is excited to write for Wasatch to use it as a platform to increase awareness of disparities in the outdoors as well as conveying her personal appreciation and passion for conservation.
