Vishakha Medha Rao

I'm Vishakha Medha Rao, a junior at the Awty International School and returning School Buzz writer. My love for writing began very young, when I created a mini-newspaper for my neighbors. This passion flourished over the years through my contributions to my student council’s newsletter and school newspaper, the Rampage. The strong camaraderie at Awty and the vibrant Houston community remind me how fortunate I am to be part of this unique environment and inspires me to give back everyday by connecting with each other through writing! In addition to journalism, I’m an avid STEM enthusiast and design engineer for my robotics team (Awtybots), as well as a trained violinist/vocalist who enjoys performing at various fundraising events. Finally, a fun fact about me—I’m a big fan of noodles, doodles, and poodles!
