Sahasra Voruganti

Co-Manager

I am a senior at Redmond High School with a passion for medicine, science, and expanding access to STEM opportunities in my community. After recognizing how difficult it was for many students around me to find research and science opportunities, I was motivated to join the outreach team at Seattle Science Lab. As a Co-manager, I hope to continue connecting students with resources they may not otherwise know about and empower them to explore their interests in STEM, regardless of their background.

Nimona Namera

Co-Manager

I am a senior at Lakeside School who aspires to work in the field of medicine. In pursuing biomedical opportunities, I experienced firsthand the difficulties that many high school students face in accessing scientific research/opportunities, whether it's due to a lack of awareness or a lack of resources. As a result, I was motivated to join the Seattle Science Lab team as the lab tour coordinator & grant writer to help create possibilities for all students to access science! Through co-management, I hope to continue on this route and foster STEM inclusivity!

Ethan Li

SROP Coordinator

I am a sophomore at Newport High School who is passionate about biology and chemistry. I've participated in opportunities like the SROP program, HOSA events, which have helped me explore my science passions further. I'm excited to be a Workshop Coordinator and help others enjoy science opportunities and get exposure early on. Outside of science, I enjoy tennis and track and field. 

Aahi Agrawal

Workshop Coordinator

I am a sophomore at Eastlake High School with interests in environmental engineering, biomaterials, and applied science research. Through my experiences in STEM outreach, independent research, and science competitions, I’ve become passionate about making science more accessible and engaging for students of all backgrounds. As a Workshop Coordinator, I’m excited to help create hands-on activities that encourage curiosity, creativity, and confidence in STEM. I especially enjoy designing interactive experiences that allow students to explore science in a collaborative and supportive environment, and I hope to inspire younger students to pursue their own interests in STEM.

Kabir Sethi

Journal Club Co-Coordinator

I am a Senior at Lakeside School who is passionate about metabolic health and scientific research. Through my work in research, clinical settings, and community education, I’ve developed a strong interest in how lifestyle-based approaches can improve long-term health outcomes. I’m excited to be part of Journal Club and help create a space where students can build confidence in reading, discussing, and presenting real scientific literature while exploring their interests in science.

Kate deStwolinski

Journal Club Co-Coordinator

I am a junior at Mercer Island High School, passionate about health science and servant leadership. You can find me leading my HOSA chapter, interning with the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center, and reminding everyone to wear their sunscreen. I play the oboe in wind ensemble, I've marched saxophone in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade and London New Year's Day Parade, and love to make jewelry and animate! I am so excited to help students explore the world of scientific literature through the Journal Club.

Om Shah

Co-founder, Board Member

I am a student at Stanford University and I am passionate about conducting machine learning research. My calling for creating Seattle Science Lab came from observing two aspects of the field I have devoted my high school to: a lack of diversity at science fairs and the high financial burden of accessing research opportunities. My goal is to broaden access to science opportunities in historically under-served areas of Seattle.

Henry Jacqmotte

Co-founder, Board Member

I am a student at Cornell University and am passionate about the field of biotechnology. I decided to help create the Seattle Science Lab after trying to schedule my own laboratory visits with college research laboratories. During the process, I faced a barriers ranging from long response times to age-restrictions that made it incredibly difficult to engage with college laboratories. I aim to make science more accessible to high schoolers in the Seattle region by decreasing the barriers associated with science research.

Previous Journal Club Coordinator

Sofia is a student at Tulane University studying neuroscience & bioengineering. 

Kiera Fong

2025-2026 Co-Manager

I am a student at Vanderbilt and I am passionate about the field of medicine and neurobiology. Through the SROP program, I was incredibly grateful to be matched with a empowering and supportive mentor who played a key role in shaping my interests in science. My favorite part of being a co-manager was giving back by helping make science more accessible to other high school students, providing them with the same meaningful opportunities and experiences that have inspired me. 

Felicity Wang

2025-2026 Co-Manager

I am a student at Northwestern, driven by a deep-rooted passion for the sciences and their power to fuel both discovery and equity. I have always been fascinated by how scientific curiosity can spark understanding, and how that understanding can open doors for others. As co-manager, my favorite part was helping to build a community where curiosity leads, collaboration thrives, and every student feels seen, heard, and empowered to envision themselves in STEM. I want our space to be one where questions are celebrated, mistakes become lessons, and everyone, no matter their background or experience, can envision themselves as a scientist, a problem-solver, and a changemaker.

Jie Ying Tan

2024-2026 Social Media & Outreach Coordinator

As a student in South King County, I recognized that many students in my local and surrounding communities struggle to find science and research opportunities for gaining experiences and skills, expanding their learning, or supporting them in their passions. This encouraged me to become part of the outreach team in Seattle Science Lab to work towards my goal of increasing the inclusivity of science opportunities for all students by ensuring all resources we offer are widely promoted and shared.
