Kundana Addala (President)

Hi! I'm Kundana (she/her), a rising sophomore at LASA High School. I'm deeply passionate about ensuring access to quality education for disadvantaged communities worldwide. Many girls have big dreams but lack the necessary resources to achieve them, and through Educate 2 Empower, I aim to address this issue. Additionally, I'm actively involved in debate, archery, Future Business Leaders of America, and computer science research.

Srihitha Papisetti

Hi! I’m Srihitha, a sophomore at LASA High School in Austin, Texas. Outside of school, I love dancing, playing the violin, being part of Science Olympiad, and STEM. In the past, I’ve enjoyed helping others by volunteering at a food bank and the library, and hope to make an impact at Educate to Empower as well!

Suhani Mundra

Hi! My name is Suhani Mundra, and I’m a sophomore at the Liberal Arts and Science Academy in Austin, Texas. In my free time, I love to read, play the guitar, and baking. I have a younger sister who I am really close with and I love spending time with. When I’m older I hope that I am a biotech engineer or in the computer science stream.

Pratik Gurijala

Hi, I'm Pratik. As a varsity swimmer, I’ve dedicated myself to excelling in the pool, showcasing teamwork, discipline, and perseverance.

As a fellow older sibling, I have been taking care of my brother and all the younger family friends since I can remember. After high school, I want to be a pediatrician, and specialize in working with kids!
