Meet Prisha Anand
Vice President
Prisha Anand, a current senior at Westview High School in San Diego, California, has always had a passion for both teaching and technology. After entering her first computer science class, Prisha noticed the negative stereotypes that continue to be pushed upon girls in this field - one of the main factors that discourage young girls from truly exploring their interests in technology. Set on changing this, Prisha joined clubs, such as Cybersecurity, that previously consisted of male members. She participated in numerous TAG events this past year, which focused on providing young girls opportunities to explore the field of computer science. Currently, she serves as the co-president of the PTSA club at her school, allowing her to communicate student needs to the school board. She also teaches coding and math at a tutoring center and leads crafts for children at her local library. Through this organization, she aims to further the inclusivity of girls in tech related careers.
