OUR LEADERS
ANOUKSHA BANSAL
Founder and President
Anouksha is an undergraduate at UC Berkeley who will graduate with a dual degree in Applied Mathematics and Statistics. Anouksha has always been passionate about math and everything to do with it. She started participating in math competitions when she was in 6th grade and since then, she noticed the number of girls slowly getting smaller until she was one of the only girls placing in the top ten. By starting Route To Success, Anouksha was able to share her passion for math with other girls who lack role models. She also loves to read and bake during her free time!
ELLENA JEON
Internal Vice President
Ellena is an undergraduate student at Rice University majoring in Bioengineering on the Pre-med track. Growing up, she noticed the increasing gender gap in math competitions, computer science classes, and engineering clubs. To bridge this disparity, she started an RTS chapter with her friends to create a community that empowers and champions initiatives that support women in STEM. She has been awarded the NCWIT National Honorable Mention/Arizona Affiliate Finalist and the Mu Alpha Theta Kay Weiss Scholarship for these efforts. During her free time, she likes to paint, scrapbook, and listen to music!
DIVYA GUPTA
External Vice President
Divya is an undergraduate at Carnegie Mellon University majoring in Artificial Intelligence. She is passionate about leveraging AI to revolutionize healthcare, aiming to develop innovative solutions that enhance patient care and medical research. Driven by her experience with gender disparities in STEM, Divya started Route to Success in high school with her friends to help bridge this gap in her math and science classes. She furthers her agenda for diversity and inclusion as an active member of NCWIT’s AiC Community and Carnegie Mellon Racing’s Software Architecture Team. Recognized as an NCWIT National Collegiate Awardee and Arizona Affiliate Finalist, Divya is dedicated to promoting a more inclusive tech environment. For fun, she enjoys playing volleyball with her friends and attending game nights!
RANYA KHAN
Secretary/Treasurer
Ranya is an undergraduate student at Georgia Institute of Technology majoring in Electrical Engineering. She is passionate about making innovations in the pioneering intersection of electrical engineering with biotechnological applications. Witnessing the gender gap in both her STEM classes and activities during high school inspired her to launch Route to Success. Now, experiencing further gender disparity within her male-dominated college major has reignited her passion to actively work towards creating a more inclusive STEM community and closing this gap through RTS. Ranya enjoys reading, coding, photography, and baking in her free time!
