Tanvika Karupakula

As a sophomore in high school and a current board member of the Mountain House Telugu Community, I am grateful for the opportunity to be more involved in a community that means a lot to me. Being part of MHTC has helped me stay connected to my culture, language, and traditions, while also teaching me the importance of teamwork and service. I enjoy working with other members to help organize events and bring families together, and I want to continue contributing in a meaningful way. Serving on the board allows me to grow as a leader, represent youth voices, and give back to the community that has shaped who I am.
