Luunivaa Shrestha is an incoming writer at the Her Campus Texas chapter. As a queer, neurodivergent, non-binary South Asian, they hope to write on their experiences and empower others like them— women and non-binary folks alike. So far, they're interested in writing about style, culture, and wellness.
Beyond Her Campus, Luunivaa is a consultant at the University Writing Center and works for the Mental Health Initiative for South Asians, a student-run non-profit. They're the Professional Coordinator for South Asian Women Empowerment, and the PR/Marketing Officer for the Undergraduate Rhetoric Society. They have teaching experience as a debate coach in both the US and Nepal, and as a piano teacher for younger students. It's their third year as a Rhetoric & Writing major at the University of Texas at Austin, with a minor in Sociology and a thesis in the works.
In their free time, Luunivaa is a singer-songwriter that performs at local open mics. They are a parent to many plants, and have rewatched Howl's Moving Castle more times than they can count. Luunivaa loves lavender as a fragrance, flavor, and color. However, they believe it's the last thing that should be in a syrup— the thick sweetness tends to override its more delicate profile.
