Ruchi Shah

You’ve read her name dozens of times over the last few years. She was recently in the running for an entrepreneurial contest sponsored by Yahoo and is gaining more and more notoriety for her quest to patent an all natural and affordable mosquito repellant that she began creating when she was a high school sophomore. She is Sachem alum Ruchi Shah.
