Nowadays AI
CEO

Accepted into Y-Combinator Summer 2023 batch with my older sister Amy. We're working on Nowadays, an AI copilot that automates the boring parts of planning corporate events. For example, our AI can contact venues by email and phone to get availability, deal with back-and-forth negotiations, and present the best options.

2023 MIT Class Council
President

Freshman fall, I decided to run for class president to help foster a community for the 2023s. With one week to campaign, I dedicated myself to doing something memorable. I printed hundreds of posters (sorry trees rip) and stuck them around campus in high-traffic locations. My friends helped me draw eye-catching propaganda in big lecture halls to get my name out there. I handed out ~600 caprisuns and ~100 cup-ramens around campus. I also posted on Facebook and Instagram once voting links came out. Though I didn’t win, the traction it gained helped me beat the incumbent the following year! Now, I run weekly meetings with the 8 committee members, managing a $250K budget to organize social events for the 1200 students in our class.

 

 

@annasunviolin
Youtube Creator

My creative outlet during the pandemic. I was trained to play violin classically since I was 4 years old but transitioned to pop music once I started college. During the pandemic, I made duets as a way to stay connected with friends and teach myself video and sound editing with Premier Pro. I love playing around with my electric violin and BOSS RC-1 Loop Station and create layered harmonies and beats.

 

@annasuntravels
Instagram Blogger

My travel blog and weekly reflections! Decided to start this when I studied abroad at Oxford to document my travels and the highs and lows that came along with it. Now, it's a collection of my favorite memories and it motivates me to go to new places and keeps me accountable through weekly reflections.

The Little Stars Foundation 

501(c)3 Non-Profit Co-Founder

 

Using Google Scripts code and sheet, I sent “personalized” emails to 6000+ universities requesting paraphernalia. Soon, dozens of packages came to my door a day, containing t-shirts, pamphlets, pens, notebooks, and even toothbrushes, totaling up to more than 3000 items. I then brought these items to first-generation students to motivate these young members to work towards a goal and go to college. While I was there, I could see the students eagerly discussing the pamphlets and learning more about college and later recieved: “Thank you so much for coming and donating! Kids have been wearing the college shirts all week.”
