The Blue & Gold

Ashika Srivastava, Editor

Ashika Srivastava is a senior and editor for the Blue & Gold. In five years, she hopes to be recounting the great tale of how she lived through a global pandemic. For her, the movie “Beauty & the Beast” best encapsulates both the beautiful and sometimes scary parts of her Chamblee experience. This is her second year on the staff.
