As the current president, Pranitha has been instrumental in establishing programs that empower and support women in their health, academic, and personal journeys. Her efforts have included organizing workshops focused on mental health awareness and reproductive health, as well as charity events to address period poverty on campus.

One of Pranitha's most memorable leadership moments was organizing her first Women's Health Forum through S.H.E. for Women. The event brought together students, faculty, and health professionals to engage in meaningful conversations about mental health, reproductive health, and equity in healthcare. Seeing women share their stories and connect over shared experiences was a powerful reminder of the importance of creating safe spaces where voices are heard and respected. Through her presentations on reproductive health services and sex education, Pranitha has sparked important conversations on campus about menstruation, fitness, and healthy living tailored for college students. Her ability to foster open dialogue and create a supportive environment has left a meaningful impact on the Georgia Tech community.
Her work with S.H.E. for Women and the Public Health Committee led to securing grant funding to place free period products in campus restrooms and promoting sustainable menstrual products. Through her research in the Wellness Technology Lab, Pranitha has focused on improving access to reproductive and sexual health resources for women of color. Additionally, her leadership as a resident assistant and her involvement with the Student Cancer Coalition and March of Dimes reflect her commitment to service and creating a healthier, more informed campus community. By combining her passion for advocacy, health, and social justice, Pranitha has laid the foundation for lasting change at Georgia Tech.
