Riya, I know you hate pictures being taken of you, but I'll ask for forgiveness later :)

This semester, the Miller Team had a lot on it's plate. Between college courses and the work we had to do for our project, it was difficult to find time for both. That's why Miller Team would like to thank Riya Raj for all the work she has done to make this project possible!

[Global Air Quality Trekkers @AirQualityEPICS]

Riya has spent more time and effort than any single member of our team on this project. From organizing visits to the school, working late, and keeping our team on task. Without out Riya, none of what we did this semester could have happened. Thank you Riya ❤️❤️❤️
