View Profile

My name is Pranaya Sharma and I'm currently a sophomore studying at Rouse High School. I have consistently viewed writing as an effective way of calming the speed of life and jotting down ideas and reflections, whether through journaling after a tiring day or articulating thoughts in words about matters that captivate her interest. I have a particular interest in crafting articles that explore how young individuals perceive concepts of justice, leadership, and their environment, along with topics related to entrepreneurship, economic inequality, and financial literacy.
