Manasa Borra, Webmaster/Interactives Editor

Manasa Borra is a senior and the Webmaster/Interactives Editor at The Sidekick.

She enjoys listening to songs that stopped being cool a decade ago yet somehow doesn’t know any bands. She loves the sweet scent of jasmine and vanilla ice cream but avoids all other sugary desserts.

Her favorite pastime is consuming an extensive variety of mystery media, from The Da Vinci Code to Only Murders in the Building to all things Agatha Christie. On weekends, you can find her playing badminton, chowing down on spicy noodles, or masterfully solving an escape room with friends.

You can contact her by email at [email protected].
