About Me
My name is Dishita Sai Eluri
I am a high school senior at Woodbridge Academy Magnet School, NJ. I'm a researcher, EMT, and menstrual health advocate passionate about improving access to menstrual products and education for young girls and underserved women.
As the co-founder of W.R.A.P. (Women's Rights Associated with Products) and creator of Period Promise, I work to break the stigma surrounding periods by combining awareness, education, and direct action. Through school presentations, community outreach, and sustainable menstrual product initiatives, my goal is to ensure that every girl has the knowledge and resources she needs to thrive.
Alongside my advocacy work, I pursue biomedical research, clinical experiences, and healthcare leadership opportunities as I prepare for a future career in medicine.
Together, we can make menstrual health education accessible to every girl.
