2021-2022 Officer Team
President
Kusum Gorantla
Hi everyone! I'm Kusum and I'm a senior this year. Hopefully you've met me by now, but if not, I'd love to get to know you! A little about me: my life mission is to help those in need, I've donated over 5 feet of my hair, and you can always find me taking time out of my day to help someone. I hope to pursue a career in cardiovascular surgery because of my family history. I love philosophy and psychology, but I also enjoy doing anything creative in my free time. If you ever see me around, feel free to stop by and say hello!
Vice President
Akshay Gupta
For those of y’all who don’t know me all too well, hello! I’m Akshay and I’ll be your vice president this year. I’ve loved being a part of HOSA as both an officer and a member in these past couple of years and I can’t wait to bring y’all that same excitement. I love to help others whenever and however I can and I hope you guys can grow to feel free to ask me for anything you might need during the year. When I find the time, I enjoy hanging out with my friends, whether that be through video games or just hanging out. My two adorable dachshunds also like to keep me company when my friends can’t. I’m generally a more social person, which has made the past year a little difficult, but I’m super excited to be able to interact with all of y’all and help Dulles HOSA prosper.

Hi! I’m Sofia and I’m a senior at Dulles. I’m so excited to be your secretary this year!

I’m looking forward to another great year at DHS HOSA!
Secretary
Shreia Sunder
Hey y'all I'm Shreia! I got my passion for medicine from watching my grandpa help countless others with the same passion and want to continue on with his work. Few things about me: I am also very passionate about dance, soccer, and Destination Imagination, which I have been competing in for almost 10 years. I'm also very committed to Grey's Anatomy-- I have somehow been able to watch the whole series three times! My dream is to travel the world someday, and I can't wait to work with HOSA this year:)

Treasurer
Joshua Wang
Hey I'm Joshua. I love to help my local community and spending time with my friends. I value God, Country, and Family. I like to go to the shooting range and sleeping (both of which I do not get to do enough) and hands down the best music genre is Classic Rock. I'll treat everyone equally no matter your background and feel free to come to me if you ever want to talk!
Historian
Kyler Mitra
Hi! My name is Kyler and I'm a junior at DHS. I'm very excited to be the historian for HOSA, and I'm looking forward to working with everyone this year! Having been a member of HOSA over the past two years, I have been able to gain a much better understanding of the significance of the healthcare field in our daily lives while learning more about careers in the medical field. I’ve also participated in hospital doctor shadowing in the Dominican Republic where I learned to suture, insert IVs, make casts, etc., and observe patients in the ER/OR. Through these experiences, I have really developed a passion for medicine, and I aspire to work in the medical field in the future. I hope to meet everyone in-person this year and make some great memories with y’all!

Hi! My name is Kelvin Phung, and I'm currently a senior! I'm so excited to be a part of the officer team this year, and I hope to be able to serve you all dutifully and earnestly. Having been a part of HOSA for the past three years, it's so rewarding to be able to work towards bettering this already amazing community that I'm so passionate about. On the off chance that I do get some free time, I enjoy writing, watching TV shows and movies, hanging out with my friends and dogs, and, of course, creating art! I hope to see you all around at our poster-making events and at our other volunteer activities!
