My name is Shreya Khurjekar and I am a Copy Editor for the Spartan Shield Online this semester. When I am not enthusiastically editing articles, I am probably playing my clarinet in either concert band, full orchestra, or jazz band. I also enjoy playing volleyball, after being introduced to the prestigious YMCA volleyball league back in kindergarten. Over the summer you can find me working by the pool at Crow Valley Country Club– but please don’t actually try to find me over the summer.
