About: Riya can't wait for one last season! Uh oh, she's getting sentimental....and she already cries when her teammates give killer openings. She loves WMTA dearly, despite having to explain that she does "debate for theater kids." Outside the mock courtroom, Riya spent the summer in DC working at the Georgetown Law Center. She is passionate about studying the implementation of housing, economic, and immigration laws. Ask her why her dog is named Chaffles. 

Favorite Mock Trial Memory: Clowning around with Skywalker and imposing "67" on Arsenic.
