Laasya has been a member of the Stem Leadership Institute for the past six years. As a member, she has challenged herself in various STEM-related fields through Science Fair, Tech Challenge, FTC, and many other competitions and projects. Outside of the program, Laasya is an active Indian classical dancer and singer, as well as an avid volunteer at El Camino Hospital and UCSF Family House. Throughout her high school career, she has contributed over 400 volunteer hours to the community and has published a peer-reviewed article based on her independent research into glioma brain tumors. She is also an avid tennis fan and was the captain of the tennis team in her senior year of high school.

Laasya will be attending UC Berkeley in the fall for bioengineering and hopefully a minor in political science!
