MEET THE TEAM
 Co-Founder Anjali Srinivasan Hi everyone! I'm studying computational biology at the University of Pittsburgh. As someone who struggled with menstrual stigma and mental health issues when younger, I was inspired to be part of the change that empowers women to love themselves. I could not be happier to lead such a great cause! |  The Psyche & Cycle Team Meet our wonderful, dedicated team that constantly works hard to put forth their best effort and do what they love best. |  Co-Founder Laasya Pedapati Hi! I’m studying Biology on the pre-medicine track at New Jersey Institute of Technology! I personally have struggled with PMDD symptoms and painful periods and dealt with the stigma surrounding menstruation as a whole. I was inspired to begin Psyche and Cycle, because I desire a reality where women can freely speak of their struggles regarding their health without judgement. |

I’m currently a junior in South Fayette High School, but I’m planning to major in Biology. As a high schooler, I know that menstrual health is not talked about enough, so I wanted to start Psyche and Cycle to spread awareness about various aspects of women health. I want to make sure that no one feels like they are alone, and to create a safe environment for women to speak freely about their menstrual health. |
