Viswa is an 11th grade student from Washington. His interest in preparedness began after joining his high school Community Emergency Response Team and was further fueled by his time on the FEMA Region 10 YPC . Viswa is especially passionate about school safety and hopes his time on the YPC offers a chance to learn more about emergency management and make a true impact in his community.
Viswa is a Sergeant with his local police department’s Cadet Post, where he actively engages in community service and law enforcement training. He is the first student to serve on his school district’s Safety Board and Safety Advisory Committee. As a certified Stop the Bleed (STB) trainer, Viswa worked with his school district to train nurses in STB and raised more than $30,000 to install STB kits in every school building.
Viswa spends his free time playing instruments and making music. He also enjoys designing logos, graphics and 3D models.
