Shaha Bhugra is a senior at Pleasant Valley High School and currently assists the Spartan Shield as the News Editor. Post-high school, Shaha plans to double major in pure mathematics and physics at **REDACTED**, with the hopes of pursuing a career in physics research. As a dedicated Platonist, he will fiercely defend the existence of abstract objects (Math was discovered, not invented!). While at school, Shaha prefers to be jamming in AP French or AP Chemistry. On most days, he can be found participating in the Math Club, Science Bowl team, and/or Badminton Club (along with several others), many of which he helps lead. On his own time, he loves to play board games with his brother and sleep (9+ hours per night!). Shaha is looking forward to a great semester with the Shield!
