Meet the Team
The Executive Board
Sneha Patibandla
President
My name is Sneha Patibandla and I am a rising junior at John P. Stevens High School In New Jersey! I am so excited to be the Jaggo New Jersey State President and am looking forward to continuing to empower women around the world. Through being involved in many community outreach organizations as well as having leadership positions at school in areas such as the JPS Theatre Company, I have learned just how important it is for women to have a voice and to have the opportunity to change the world. Coming from an Indian background I found it even more prevalent for me to get involved after seeing the outreach Jaggo has spread towards girls and women in India through the NGOs they have worked with. I'm looking forward to growing Jaggo NJ and being a part of the change I want to see in the world!
Sharon Pan
Vice President
Hi! My name is Sharon Pan, and I'll be one of the Vice Presidents for JAGGO NJ! I'm going to be a junior at John P. Stevens High School in Edison, NJ this year. Regarding school, I am part of my school's newspaper, Odyssey of the Mind club (I was on the same team as Sneha), and marching band. I also try to be part of the community in any way that I can, from volunteering at the local Chinese school to assisting at the senior center. During my spare time, I tend to read books, go on walks, or draw. I'm always up to help people, and I can't wait to work with everyone on this mission! Fun fact: I'm a huge cat person. I love cats! =^•ㅅ•^=
Shraeyah Rajeshwaran
Vice President
Hi, my name is Shraeyah Rajeshwaran, and I will be one of the Vice Presidents for JAGGO NJ! I am a rising junior at John. P Stevens High School in Edison, NJ. I'm thrilled to be a part of an organization that actively changes the lives of women across the world. As a first-generation Indian American, I've seen how women are still unable to take opportunities to better themselves and reach their full potential, so I'm looking forward to reforming their lives through my position in Jaggo. I'm a part of the JPS Theatre Company, HOSA, and MUN, and out of school, I'm a part of several civic change and non-profit organizations. I'm an avid reader and love music (creating and listening to it) and dance. I can't wait to work with all of you and reach our goals!
Tia Sarkar
Secretary
Hi! My name is Tia Sarkar and I'm the Secretary of Jaggo New Jersey! I'm going to be a junior this year at John P. Stevens High School! I'm so excited to be a part of this organization, fundraise for events, and raise awareness of the problems women face over the world. I love helping and meeting people, whether it's in my school or my community. Other than JAGGO, I'm involved in Student Council, FBLA, and HOSA. Some fun facts are that I love to dance, cook, eat (of course), and hang out with friends!
Krishi Patel
Treasurer
Hi, my name is Krishi Patel and I am going to be a junior at John P Stevens High School. I am really excited to be a part of the Jaggo NJ Board and hope to make a change as being treasurer. Being a part of Jaggo is a very important privilege to me and I hope I can fulfill my role as treasurer and make a change in society and in the lives of impoverished women. Other than Jaggo, I am a part of the Edison Save the Children Club and HOSA New Jersey. Aside from participating in these clubs, I love to read in my free time and create ceramic pottery. I also enjoy a long bike ride, playing badminton in the open outdoors, and watching Netflix. By participating in Jaggo New Jersey, I hope to earn excellent leadership skills and learn more about the lives of women across the world while also helping them gain a stronger voice in their society.
Nikita Shinil
Head of Journalism/Website Manager
Hello! My name is Nikita Shinil and I am a junior at JP Stevens High School. I am so excited to be a part of Jaggo’s board and work with everyone. I believe that Jaggo’s mission is both innovative and impactful as we strive to bring new opportunities for women all around the world, especially in India. As Head of Journalism, I hope to create and publish articles that will bring awareness to the issues many women face everyday. I look forward to working with the members of Jaggo to grow our organization and give a voice to those who do not have one! Outside of Jaggo I am interested in pursuing a career in computer science and hope to bring more inclusivity to the STEM field. I hope that Jaggo's website serves to be a platform that educates people about women's issues and persuades them to make a change!
Grace Doh
Head of Journalism
My name is Grace and I’m a rising junior at Bridgewater Raritan High School who has a passion for the arts and writing. I’m one of the Heads of Journalism and I’m so excited to read everyone’s writing and be a part of the Jaggo NJ team. As someone who has long felt underrepresented as an Asian American woman, I’m incredibly grateful for the community that Jaggo has created for myself and so many others. Aside from Jaggo, I’m a writer for ReDefy NJ and also for my school newspaper. In my free time I enjoy all things music, whether it be discovering new music to listen to or writing songs on the guitar.
