Hi! My name is Sita Sagunarthy. I am 15 years old and a sophomore at Charlotte Latin School. I am a student who is passionate about the brain, mental health, and the possibilities of mindfulness in support of healing and individual growth. I started this blog to explore my interests in neuroscience, meditation, and trauma recovery. While this project is a personal journey of learning, it is also meant to spark an interest in others and serve as a resource for those who are curious about brain plasticity and functioning in terms of physical, mental, and emotional growth after trauma. My goal is to inspire people of all ages, backgrounds, and experiences to discover the power of mindfulness and practice it in their own lives. I also hope this platform will provide me with opportunities to explore the brain and related areas of neuroscience in greater depth, including through collaboration with scientists and neurologists. My intention is to expand my passion for the brain’s complexity throughout my high school years.
