Sara Shah

I’m Sara Shah, an incoming fourth-year student at Cornell University, studying architecture, business, and real estate. Originally from India, I’m deeply interested in the intersection of design and business, and passionate about using creative problem-solving to make a meaningful impact on the built environment and beyond.

At Cornell, I serve as a Student Ambassador for the College of Architecture, Art, and Planning, where I enjoy helping prospective and incoming students discover the dynamic and collaborative culture of AAP. I also co-lead the Clean Plate Collective, a student-run sustainability club focused on reducing material waste and fostering conscious consumption within the architecture department on campus.

Outside the classroom, I value connecting with individuals from diverse backgrounds and learning from their perspectives. I’m always looking for opportunities to collaborate, explore new ideas, and contribute to projects that drive positive change.
