BIO
Hey beautiful people!I am Sai, short for Saigopini (pronounced like "sigh"), and I come from a lineage of resilient women and rice paddy farmers in South India. Despite pursuing a double major in mathematics and computer science, my true passion has always been writing and poetry.
My journey as a writer began unexpectedly when a poem I wrote for the Santa Clara Library Young Poets competition, submitted by my high school teacher, earned me a surprise victory. Committed to empowering other women, I dedicate much of my time to mentoring young women in STEM fields, driven by my desire to give back to my community.
​Throughout my diverse career, I have worn many hats, from serving as a tour guide at the Monterey Bay Aquarium to exploring roles in archiving, paleontology, and engineering. In my free time, I love to travel, go on adventures with my dog, and stay up at odd hours devouring a good book. I am excited to continue my writing journey and am currently working on my own book, "Shiva's Trident and The Goddess's Fire," which is in the process of traditional publishing.
I have been fortunate enough for my short story, "What's in a Name?" has been selected and published in the 67th issue of the Adelaide Literary Magazine (August 2024). Currently attending law school, I aim to merge my passion for justice with my technical and creative skills to make a positive impact. I would love to hear from you!
