Reva Prodduturi

I'm a junior from Frisco, TX. I'm a Plan II major, with minors in Philosophy of Law, Business & Public Policy, and French. I'm also pursuing a certificate in Criminal Law, Justice, and Inequality. On campus, I am also involved with the KIPP Partnership program, where I mentor a middle school student at a KIPP school here in Austin. I am also a part of Student Conduct Board and Texas Lonestars! I am passionate about service and look forward to engaging in meaningful and impactful community engagement with the Walker Fellowship. Specifically, I am interested in reforming the disparities in the criminal legal system and the prison industrial complex. My passion for justice and equality drives my interest in innovation and change. In my free time, I love to bake for my friends, watch trashy reality TV, and buy overpriced lattes at cute coffee shops.
