Getting to know Rani...

My favorite part about competing for Brandeis is: I love the school spirit, and, academically, I love that Brandeis is a small, liberal arts school in the greater Boston Area, and I love the community, extracurriculars, and teacher-student ratio.

My favorite athletic moment at Brandeis has been: When Melissa Rothenberg ‘21 stole a homerun and almost jumped over the fence for a game-saving grab in our game against Simmons.

My favorite professor at Brandeis is: Professor Daniel Breen because all of the legal studies classes I have taken with him have been very engaging and interesting. He also genuinely cares about his students and ensures we are all doing well outside of his class.

My favorite place to travel to is: My grandparents’ house in Florida

My dream job is: Working in litigation for the ACLU or being a reporter for the Boston Globe because I am passionate about both those lines of work, and I think they will keep me on my toes.

My favorite movie of all time is: The Blind Side

My favorite TV Show is: Jane the Virgin

My favorite song is: Best Part by H.E.R. and Daniel Caesar

My favorite pro sports team is: The Boston Red Sox because I have always grown up rooting for them.
