Meet the Student Communications Group

All that jazzy content you see in Jumbo and on our social media? These are the folks behind it. They're real, live Tufts students with a flair for making videos, podcasts, and articles, a great sense of humor at our weekly meetings, and a desire to share their experiences with you.

Kaashvi Ahuja '26

Bio

I'm from London, England but I live in Doha, Qatar. I'm double majoring in International Relations and Psychology. In my free time, I love reading, playing basketball, camping, eating ice cream, or spending time with friends and family. Traveling is a big part of my life as I have moved around a lot and lived in five different countries - I loves exploring places with forests and mountains (especially because I lived in a desert for ten years). Outside of academics at Tufts, I enjoy writing for the Tufts Daily, Tufts Hemispheres, and the Tufts Law Review and I hopes to one day work as an international environmental lawyer.

I'm from Bethesda, Maryland, but am very passionate about my love for Boston sports. I'm studying Psychology and Political Science! I'm also an active tour guide at Tufts, a writer for The Tufts Daily, and a volunteer with the Tufts After School Tutoring and Enrichment Club (TASTE). I also do research in a Psychology lab. I love to go on runs, hang out with friends on Prez lawn, attend Red Sox games, and order coffee from Tasty Cafe.

I'm majoring in English and spend a lot of time writing, whether it's for Jumbo or the Tufts Daily, and hope to one day work as a journalist. My current obsessions include iced coffee, sketch comedy skits, postmodernist films, and yoga. You can typically find me on campus enjoying a Medford Fog at the Sink, working in the Daily office, or sitting on the 6th floor of the Joyce Cummings Center deeply invested in a random series of Wikipedia pages.
