Meet Our Team!


Hi everyone! I’m Kashish, currently an undergraduate freshman in college majoring in public affairs and political science! I created Currently Informed to advocate for important events occurring now and provide others with a platform to leave a tangible positive impact on our community. I’m extremely passionate about law, writing, music, and volleyball! One of my biggest mottos would be to speak up for those who can’t and I hope to amplify voices through my platform here at Currently Informed. Feel free to reach me at kashishsachdeva2005@gmail.com!

Founder: Kashish Sachdeva

Hi! I’m Avery and I’m fifteen years old. Currently, I attend Phillips Exeter Academy. I strive to create equality in an unjust world by raising awareness of beauty of human and cultural differences. My passionate involvement in DEI seeks to build oppurtunities for the voiceless and shines light on prevalent societal issues. As of the present, I engage in political policy and work to diversity unjust systems through action and advocacy!

Writing Director: Aryan Mukherjee

Hello! My name is Aryan Mukherjee, and I am a high schooler who loves math and writing. I’ve been passionate about letting my thoughts flow out and adapting a variety of wacky writing styles and patterns since elementary school, and have participated in and won several writing awards in the past. Some of my hobbies include practicing taekwondo, swimming, traveling, and playing chess online. I love volunteering and helping out others, especially when working with youth, and can often be found deeply immersed in my own random ideas while frolicking outside in my garden. I love meeting my friends and placing a massive emphasis on my social life, and am infatuated by trying new things and getting overly obsessed with any arbitrary activity that clicks for me. Feel free to reach out to me through my email (aryansenmukherjee@gmail.com or on discord (humus#6135), and I hope whoever reads this has a magnificent rest of their day!
