I am a student at Wellesley High School. As a girl interested in STEM, I am fortunate to have teachers, parents, and friends who encourage me to explore my interests.

However, many girls around the world do not have the same support and are driven away from pursuing their passions in STEM. There is a huge gap between men and women in STEM fields.

That is why I founded the Reddy to Close The Gap organization to play a small role in closing this gap. I would like for this to be a lifelong pursuit to address the gap in many different areas of STEM. To begin, I chose to support Venus Betiyan in their mission to close that gap in manufacturing.

I hope you will join me in this journey.
