Finishing up his last year, Ritwik Jalota – mostly known as Ricky – is planning to attend DePaul University in the fall of 2026. In his free time, he likes to hang out with friends, whether that means playing volleyball (his favorite sport), watching TV, or baking—even though he spends more time washing dishes than actually baking.

Ricky enjoys talking about volleyball, especially at the international level, with his favorite team being Japan, even though they always seem to fall short of first place in international tournaments. To end things off, one fun fact about him is that even though he is tall, he has a deadly fear of heights.
