EXECUTIVE BOARD
KRISH GHOSALKAR
PRESIDENT
Biomedical Sciences (‘26)
Hi guys! I am thrilled to serve as your President this upcoming year after serving as your Vice President last year! My future goal is to become a physician and serve historically underserved communities. Fun fact, I am one of the co-founders of a fairly new club at UCF called the Mothers and Children Health Association! In my free time, I love to play pickleball and bake- I have never successfully baked cookies without messing up one of the ingredients. I joined H4H as I wanted to be part of making a change to the lives of the homeless individuals. With my time in H4H, I was able to start ROM screenings, as well as eye health screenings, and establish a partnership with the Ocoee Lions Club Eye Clinic to refer homeless individuals with low eye health screening scores for further assistance. This year, I plan on starting a H4H Assistance Program to provide direct non-medical help to the homeless community. Being directly part of such a significant impact is why I chose to pursue H4H!

SASTHA RAJAMANIKANDAN
VICE PRESIDENT

Hi everyone! I’m excited to serve as your Secretary this year after previously being a part of H4H as a screening director and a social director. I’m looking forward to hosting our cooking competitions at Ronald McDonald House for families with sick children as well as Harbor House Domestic Violence Shelter. I’m hoping to meet everyone at our socials including our spikeball tournament, holiday party, game knight and more! In my free time, I enjoy writing and if you’d like to find out more about H4H and what we do, there is an article I wrote in the UCF Student Magazine, Imprint, about what it means to volunteer with us. Our hope is to make sure no individual or family gets left behind and I’m grateful to be a part of an organization that puts the health of our community first.

MARLENE BEKHEIT
SECRETARY
BIOMEDICAL SCIENCES ('27)/ BUSINESS ADMINISRATION
Hi guys! I’m excited to be your Secretary this year! H4H has allowed me to really immerse myself in the community around me and start important conversations with people about their health. I’ve always enjoyed making one-on-one connections with people, and talking about their health is something I’m passionate about. For some people, I believe that our club members get to be the first person to get them the medical attention they need. It shows that we can really make a significant difference in their lives. I believe I will learn so much more about what it means serve the underserved in next couple years as I’m working my way towards medical school. In my free time, I look to read, cook, and listen to music. I’m currently re-reading my favorite series from my childhood, the Alex Rider series.

AADITYA BALASUBRAMANIYAN
TREASURER
Biology ('26)/ Business Administration
Hey everyone! I am excited to be serving as your Treasurer this year for H4H after previously serving as one of the Social Directors! My future goal is to become a dentist with interest in becoming an Endodontist. My favorite hobbies include playing basketball and cooking! H4H has given me a way to connect to the underserved individuals who do not have access to health resources. I have been fortunate enough to be a part of this organization of like-minded individuals who have similar goals in serving the community. My favorite part about our mission on serving the community is being able to educate individuals who never had the opportunity to learn about how important physical and mental health are. This year, my biggest goal is to continue to spread awareness and create even stronger ties throughout our community. I plan on creating more member involved fundraising opportunities, implement a brand new merchandise store, plan service trips and much more.

NICK SCOTT
MEDICAL INFORMATIONS OFFICER
Biomedical Sciences (‘29)/Psychology
Hi! My name is Nick Scott, and I am proud to serve as your medical information officer this year. I joined H4H during my freshman year after learning about their mission at Opening Knight and the first GBM. It really opened my eyes to the challenges that underserved populations face in meeting their basic healthcare needs. Through H4H and by regularly attending screenings, I have been fortunate enough to find a fulfilling mission in helping those in need. I served as a donation drive director my freshman year before taking on the role of MIO. This year, my goal is to continue improving upon on our screenings by hosting screening workshops and working to expand acess to overdoes prevention resources including narcan. For any new members, I highly encourage running for leadership positions. I ran and became a director my freshman year!
Directorship(s): Medical Information
My name is Anvita Gadiraju, and I am honored to serve as the Community Outreach Officer for the 2025-2026 school year. I joined Hearts for the Homeless because I was searching for a meaningful way to serve others while advocating for heart health. At H4H, I found exactly that along with a community of passionate, hardworking individuals dedicated to improving the lives of the homeless population through preventative healthcare. As I prepare to enter medical school in the coming year, I look forward to carrying forward the lessons, leadership skills, and passion for community-centered care that H4H has instilled in me.

Hello there! I am beyond grateful to be in the position of supporting our local homeless community and members like yourself as this year’s Recruitment Officer. As a first-generation student and aspiring physician, my focus is on enriching underserved communities and rectifying disparities within healthcare through policy, education, and outreach. Becoming an advocacy director with H4H and conducting multiple research projects on homelessness has prepared me to use our Instagram and TikTok platforms to foster new opportunities for change and new ways for you all to get involved! In my spare time, you can find me nose-deep in my latest read. My friend and I co-host the literary podcast Booked ‘n Busy on Spotify where we read and react to each other’s polar-opposite book suggestions. I am also currently working on drafting and publishing my first-ever poetry collection!
