San Antonio, TX
In the heart of San Antonio Independent School District, where more than 44,000 students navigate stark economic disparities just miles from the well- resourced schools of Alamo Heights Independent School District, Aarya Gowda is turning awareness into action. Witnessing firsthand how zip codes can determine opportunity, Aarya has committed her voice and research to advancing radon awareness and health equity—ensuring that students in under-resourced districts are not left vulnerable to an invisible, preventable threat.
