Founder & President
My passion for service started when I was 9. I started with serving food, floor/activity facilitation and cleaning at a local non profit organization. As a junior in high school, I joined PRAGNYA, a non profit organization helping children on the Autism spectrum get a fighting chance at life, through the development of academic augmentation and social immersion programs. My other passions include Carnatic music (vocal and instrumental) and Video games - activities I perform while volunteering at PRAGNYA and other charities. My long term goal is to combine Music, Video games and AI to come up with techniques or methodologies to make a difference in neurodiverse kids.
