Sripriya Lakshmi
LEAD Joint Coordinator

Sewa International has been a deeply enriching part of my life since 2020. What started as a journey with my daughter becoming lead volunteer quickly turned into a family passion, as we immersed ourselves in countless volunteering activities over the past four years. Watching my daughter wholeheartedly engage in Sewa inspired my son to join two years ago, making it a beautiful family tradition of giving back. Currently I am involved in various sewa activities as a lead coordinator. Beyond Sewa, my heart finds joy in learning bhajans and experimenting in the kitchen. Professionally, I thrive as a Software Quality Assurance Engineer at Bank of America. Originally from the vibrant city of Chennai, Tamil Nadu, I now call Edison, New Jersey, home, where I live with my wonderful husband and two incredible kids.
