Priya G. (IN A NUTSHELL)

Priya is studying Psychology and Economics at Harvard, where she leads a magazine on undergraduate mental health and an organization that encourages dialogue on US-India affairs. Priya is passionate about all things behavior and social science, conducting research at the intersection of time and happiness at Harvard Business School and liaising with undergraduates on behalf of the university-wide Behavioral Insights Student Group. After her sophomore year of college, Priya took two consecutive gap years and worked for a startup in India. As one of four founding members, she headed the communications and marketing department. She played a key role in creating and broadcasting advertising materials, and even designed a billboard on a major highway! Priya grew up in Northern Virginia, just outside of the nation’s capital. In high school, Priya devoted most of her time to participating in state- and nationwide Latin competitions and to improving diversity and inclusion initiatives at her school. Outside of school, Priya loves practicing yoga, reading thrillers and nonfiction, and eating chocolate dessert. At Curious Cardinals, Priya is excited to teach subjects related to psychology, neuroscience, language, and entrepreneurship. Most of all, she wants to inspire her students to love learning.
