Viraaj Mehta

Secretary

Year:

2nd Year

About Me:

Hi guys, my name is Viraaj Mehta and I’m your Salsa Club Secretary for this year! I’m a 2nd year from Singapore planning to major in biochemistry on the pre-med track.

I started Latin dancing in the winter of my first year, despite never having any sort of artistic bone in my body, with my only dance experience being forced to dance to Titanium by David Guetta at my 3rd grade school musical because I got rejected from the acting and choir.

Surprisingly, I’ve ended up liking Latin dance, some may say even loving it... My favourite events are the rehearsals for Showcase; I love the team bonding during rehearsals and my favourite style is Cha-Cha.

Outside of Salsa I enjoy reading crime books, singing (horribly), cooking, running, and watching soccer (if you’re an Arsenal fan, never talk to me), cycling, tennis, rugby, swimming and athletics.

Excited to meet you all this year, don’t be afraid to say hi.
