Hello Tennesee TSA! My name is Rehan Krishnan, and I am a Junior at Collierville High School. I am honored to serve as your 2024-2025 Secretary.
My TSA journey began in 9th grade when I was brought to the interest meeting by my friend who had been telling me to join since middle school. At first, I was slightly hesitant to join since I didn’t know what a CTSO was, but after meeting members who shared their passion for the organization, I knew that I would love it. Over time, my love for TSA grew as I experienced my first regional, state, and national conference while learning how to aid my chapter’s team as chapter secretary. From gaining valuable STEM-based knowledge by competing in various events to building long-lasting friendships at all levels, TSA has truly provided me with invaluable skills and experiences that I will continue to use both inside and outside of TSA. Outside of TSA, I lead my school’s Research and Journaling Club, captain our Science Olympiad and Bowl teams, talk about neuroscience and mental health for Youth4Neuro, and teach chess tactics to students for Memphis Youth Chess. You can also find me on the court playing basketball, curled over my MIDI keyboard making music, or hanging out with my friends. This year, I am looking forward to redesigning the TNTSA website, continuing to expand and improve the event directory, and increasing connections between Tennessee TSA and businesses to establish relationships that build an opportunity for members to gain hands-on experience from partnerships. Additionally, I hope to use social media to host fun challenges for chapters to compete informally amongst each other like a TSA-themed pumpkin carving challenge! I am beyond excited to work alongside Team 47 and grateful for this opportunity! |
