Aayush Kunwar performs at Root of Happiness Kava Bar in Davis, California

If you’re ready to groove to some experimental acoustic tunes, Financial Analyst Aayush Kunwar might be just who you’re looking for. Prior to the pandemic, the former UC Davis Aggie enjoyed performing at open mic nights around Davis; he aspires to one day be a music producer. But music isn’t Aayush’s only passion. He is also a nationally ranked track and field athlete in his home country of Nepal!

With most of his first year at UCOP spent out of the office, Aayush looks forward to the opportunity to connect with like-minded colleagues. So, please reach out and welcome him to the UCOP team.
