Meet Akansha Ramnath, Project Data Coordinator

What’s your favorite way to unwind after a long day?

After a long day, I go full “main character energy.” First stop: ramen, the ultimate hug in a bowl. Then I curl up with a cute, feel good show that makes me forget what emails even are. If I’m feeling fancy, I’ll grab ice cream or a big mug of hot chocolate (because why choose?). And on those really stressful days? I blast loud, dancey music in my room and have a one person concert; zero choreography, 100% joy. By the end, I’m laughing, out of breath, and totally stress free.

What’s something you’re passionate about outside of work that people might not know?

Something I’m really passionate about outside of work is creating content for Instagram and YouTube. It’s my happy place. I love the whole process, from brainstorming ideas to editing and experimenting with new styles. There’s something so satisfying about bringing a vision to life and sharing it with people. I’m also a classical dancer, which adds a whole other layer of creativity and discipline to my life. In a way, both passions feed into each other as dance gives me expression and storytelling skills, and content creation lets me share that artistry with the world.

If you could have any superpower, what would it be and how would you use it at work?

If I could have any superpower, I’d be The Time Turner. I would be able to pause, rewind, or fast forward time at will. On hectic days, I’d freeze the clock to power through my to do list like a productivity ninja. When learning something new, I’d rewind and replay until I nail it like a pro. And for those big team wins? I’d slow time down so we could bask in the glory a little longer- maybe even in slow motion with epic background music. I’d use my powers to make work smoother, learning faster, and celebrations way more cinematic.
