Kavya Racheeti is a sophomore majoring in molecular biology. She joined The Mercury in January 2024 and is super excited to be your opinion editor this year! When she is not writing about everything she feels very strongly about (read: her hatred for Barry Keoghan) or begging the Managing Editor to let her add a gossip column, she’s watching a movie that she will log into her Letterboxd as soon as it’s over, reading, journaling, rewatching Derry Girls, obsessively scrolling through Pinterest, or stress baking (which happens more often during exam season). She hopes to go to medical school in pursuit of being a pediatric oncologist.
