ANANYA NAYAK

Director of Engagement

My name is Ananya Nayak and I'm an incoming senior! I joined Period because growing up Indian, I was taught a lot of misconceptions about periods, and that they were something to be ashamed of. I hope that menstrual health can become a topic that we aren't afraid to discuss. In my free time I like to listen to music, ride my bike, and catch up on my mile-long YouTube watch later playlist.
