Nikhila Nanduri

Class of 2017

Current occupation: Student

Other schools attended: Pinewood School. Will attend Carnegie Mellon this fall.

Activities: My a cappella group, Pinewood Take Note, has professionally recorded on Spotify. I created two non-profits, one dedicated to improving online learning for young students during the pandemic and another dedicated to the empowerment of girls in STEM. At Pinewood, I was inducted into math, science, spanish, and history honors societies and served as president of the service club. 

Favorite Woodland memory: I started at Woodland in kindergarten and truly grew up there. It was my home for 10 years. I have great memories of my teachers, too many great ones to count. I remember their patience and dedication to making sure students really understood the material and loved learning. My math teachers really inspired me and I plan 

Fun facts and updates: The strong sense of community at Woodland was a big factor in my picking Pinewood. It has the same, small vibe and people who are kind, trustworthy and genuine. It also made me attuned to the community at Carnegie Mellon, which has a quirky and nerdy feel.

Woodland is still a big part of my life. Both of my brothers attend Woodland, my mom taught there, and my dad served on the board. I formed lifelong friendships and stayed close to many Woodland friends throughout high school.
