Meet the Team:
Aarav Patel: Co-Founder of Seeing-i2i
Hi! I’m Aarav, a co-founder of Seeing-i2i. Right now I’m a Junior in High School (class of 2026). I chose to take on Seeing-i2i because I want to be able to tackle problems that everyday people face socially, on the ground. Like Saranya, I also got
the opportunity to write for The Week Junior Council. I wrote stories about food insecurity & inequities throughout America. Seeing-i2i has given me a unique opportunity to help out older generations who need a little catching up with technology and other little things that we often take for granted.
Saranya Patel: Co-Founder and Website Designer of Seeing-i2i
Hi, my name is Saranya! I am a Sophomore in high school and love animals, psychology and writing. I think it’s important to advocate for important issues from animal abuse to women’s self defense. That is why I joined the Week Junior Council, where I had the opportunity to write stories for thousands of people. I also enjoy meeting new people and becoming friends with people in different generations! When I grow up, I want to help animals and pursue a career in psychology or criminal justice/law.
Ishaana Patel: Co-Founder of Seeing-i2i
Hi, I’m Ishaana and I am 12 years old! I am one of the three co-founders of seeing-i2i. In my free time, I enjoy listening to music and animating videos. When I grow up I hope to study astrology and astronomy. Science interests me because we never know how much is going on. Curiosity sparks my mind!
