Brief Biographical Sketch:

Hi everyone! My name is Vaishnavi Dornadula and I am currently a 3st year Mechanical Engineering PhD student. I grew up in California and graduated from UC Santa Cruz in Robotics Engineering in 2021. I really like to build things, do crafts, dance, work out, and work on puzzles! I used to love going to Splash as a kid and learning about a variety of subjects and I'm really excited to have the opportunity to teach.
