Nandana Nambiar

I’m Nandana Nambiar, a sophomore at Mounds View High School (MVHS) and a 2026 IAM Intern. I’m a firm believer in the power of community leadership, whether I’m advocating for youth wellness on the HealthPartners Teen Leadership Council or leading my peers as the MVHS HOSA President-Elect and Science Olympiad Captain. Beyond my passion for STEM, I am deeply rooted in my heritage through dance. I perform a wide range of Indian dance forms, from the classical precision of Bharatanatyam to the high energy of Bollywood, Kuthu, Bhangra, and Garba. I’m excited to bring this blend of youth leadership and cultural pride to IAM, helping to celebrate our vibrant traditions and build lasting connections across Minnesota. I can’t wait to see what we’ll accomplish together!
