“I’m proud to have worked for an organization that aims to enable young girls like my sister to have equal – and ample – opportunities to pursue a career in STEM,” says Sreerag.
Meet Sreerag – a data and business analyst who supported both the grant team and then the automation team. Sreerag joined JerseySTEM in February 2024 after graduating from the University of Maryland with a Master’s in Business Analytics. In his role, Sreerag was responsible for extracting insights from large datasets, which were then used to make recommendations that ultimately drove strategic, impactful decisions.
Sreerag was inspired every day by the amount of grantmakers that believed in JerseySTEM’s mission, and he is proud of his contributions that led to securing the support necessary to help JerseySTEM continue to make a difference in the community and beyond. Above all, Sreerag knows that his impact will be felt even after he transitions to his new full-time role at a new company.
When asked about his personal connection to the organization, Sreerag says that his young sister inspired his work.
“I’m proud to have worked for an organization that aims to enable young girls like my sister to have equal – and ample – opportunities to pursue a career in STEM,” Sreerag says. “I wanted to help make that a reality.”
Beyond fulfilling his personal goals, Sreerag also landed his full-time position from the connections he made at JerseySTEM. Networking around the organization led him to what would ultimately become his next step.
Outside of JerseySTEM, Sreerag is a talented artist. He maintains an art account on Instagram where he posts his latest drawings. He also works on personal projects related to data and business analytics to continue to learn new skills to meet his personal and professional goals.
