Each month, the Imagining team interviews one of JuSTEMagine’s board members. For the month of November, the spotlight is on Angel Bhandari, JuSTEMagine’s Director of Events. Angel, a sophomore at Brownell Talbot School in Omaha, Nebraska, came on this year to fill a relatively new board position.

"I LOVE to plan events and advocate for girls in STEM."
What do you enjoy about event planning? Is there a favorite event you’ve done?

What’s your favorite JuSTEMagjne project/event you’ve been a part of?
"My favorite JuSTEMagine project has been last year’s advocacy event!"
What’s a piece of advice you would give to volunteers/chapters/future board members?
