Himaja Nagireddy
Himaja Nagireddy, from Acton, MA, is this year’s UNA-USA Youth Observer to the UN. A proud daughter of South Indian immigrants, she currently serves as a health equity research fellow for the CDC and as an elected Select Board member for her town. She recently graduated with an MS in Environmental Epidemiology and a concentration in Infectious Disease Epidemiology from the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. Himaja is constantly inspired by her peers who collaboratively organize and lead changes to protect the human rights and dignity of people in their community, especially for those who disproportionately face injustices that are overlooked and disregarded. They bring the solutions we need to support and scale for achieving a more equal world for all. Recognizing this, Himaja strives to uplift and embolden the voices and actions of young people across our country.
