If patience were a person, it would probably be Riya. She’s the kind of listener who quietly absorbs everything, steps back, and looks at situations from a fresh perspective. A total bookworm, she can read anything – from novels to telephone directories! When she’s not reading or writing, she’s yapping – usually about history, culture, or whatever has caught her interest that day.

Behind all the yapping is someone who’s incredibly dependable, always willing to help the interns, and somehow never misses a deadline. Fuelled by coffee, spicy food, and her mandatory Saturday McDonald’s, she’s also fiercely protective of her lunchtime sofa spot. Forget to save her a seat, and you’ll leave her absolutely flabbergasted.
