2022-present
Youth Chair for the Seattle Chapter of Pratham USA
As the Youth Leader for Pratham's Seattle Chapter, I work on the outreach of Pratham as an organization to local youth. Pratham is an organization primarily known about by the older generation, and I want to change this by bringing Pratham to local contexts.
2023-present
Pratham Youth Leaders Summer Program
Over the summer, I volunteered as part of the Youth Leaders program in Maharashtra, India from July 23rd to August 4th. There, 14 other volunteers and I taught conversational English to vocational students and worked on creative projects with village youth.
Summer 2023
Team Lead of Pratham Seattle Readathon
Each year in the summer, Pratham conducts a Readathon where kids in the US read and adults donate to Pratham in exchange. I was the team lead for the Readathon in 2023, and managed to raise $1,600, the second highest chapter in the country and the highest by per-person raising.
Summer 2024
Pratham AI Hackathon
Web Dev Intern
As an Intern for the first annual Pratham AI Hackathon, I created a website that was a nexus for all the information that participants, mentors, judges, and staff alike needed. The website was custom-styled and deployed on a personal domain, containing rules, signup links, team information, and more.

Pratham AI Hackathon
Best Demo Winner
I competed in the Pratham AI Hackathon in 2024 in a team of five, developing the demo-ready app Rising Stars. Rising Stars addresses concerns with career awareness and employability in the 16-22 age group in a three-step plan: a career quiz, a resume builder, and AI Interviewer. The project won the Best Demo award.
