Shiranthi Goonathilaka

Shiranthi Goonathilaka is a senior biology major/environmental health minor at Spelman College from St. Paul, Minnesota. From a young age, Goonathilaka has known that her life is not her own, in the sense that she cannot just think of herself, but her mother, people and community in regards to her future aspirations. It is not enough for her to just better herself. She refuses to wait until society sees her as established to start implementing social and environmental change; she is using her skills to implement the change she wants to see in the world.
