About Me
I'm Aanya Harshavat, a high school sophomore with a passion for storytelling, leadership, and making a positive impact in my community.
At 15, I published my first children's book, "Annie and Froggy Make a Friend," which I've had the privilege of reading to elementary school students across the district.
I believe that young people have the power to inspire others and create meaningful change—and I'm committed to being part of that change through writing, education, and community service.
