Ankit is also responsible for approving photography for and taking photos of major events for tjTODAY content. Ankit served as a staff reporter his freshman year, a Team Leader his sophomore year, and has been an Editor-in-Chief since his junior year.

Outside of journalism, Ankit is a part of the non-profit Growth and Inspiration through Volunteering and Education (GIVE) and is a member of Jefferson’s Policy Debate Team. After high school, Ankit would like to pursue a career in the biological or computer science fields.
