STUDENT LEADERSHIP 2026

CEO

Hi I'm Jay, the Chief Executive Officer of Team 75! I spent my freshman year on our Mechanical Department and as an FLL Mentor. During my Sophomore Year, I was on Team 428 as the Assistant Mechanical Manager and was the driver for our Drive Team! Last year, I served as Outreach Vice President and was responsible for bringing STEMascend to Team 75. In the past, I've served as our FLL Coordinator, RoboConNJ FLL Workshop Coordinator, and FTC Mentor. 

President

My name’s Vikhya, and I’m a Senior and the current President of Team 75! This is my 4th year on the team, and up until now, I’ve been a member and Assistant Manager of our Public Relations Department (which would now be called Graphic Design/Communications), an event coordinator for STEM Library events, and one of our main Illustrators/Animators. As a junior, I served as the Business Vice President. Now, as President, I oversee the team's internal communications and deliverables, making sure everything runs smoothly. 

Past high school, I plan on pursuing Industrial/Product Design and continuing my career as a practicing artist. I’ve always been an art kid, and being in Robotics is something my past self never would have expected--but these last 3 years on the team have taught me the full extent to which STEM and Art combine to create such varying and diverse fields of study. 

Vice President, Business

Hey, I'm Durga, a junior and the Business VP of Team 75. Before becoming the Business VP I was part of the FI team and I was in Communications. I have been mentoring FTC for 2 years and currently am a lead. Currently as the Business VP I am in charge of overseeing Graphic Design, Communications, and Finance. I am responsible for keeping our alumnus, sponsors, and parents updated on what we are doing as a team. 

This team has taught me so many valuable skills that have helped me in my everyday life in terms of presentation skills, work ethic, and more. Beyond High School, I want to pursue Pharmacy and Business Management. I love meeting new people and creating valuable memories and this team has given me the opportunities to constantly learn and grow as an individual. 

Vice President, Outreach

Hi, I’m Alan, a senior and the Outreach Vice President of the HHS Robotics Program. Before becoming Outreach VP, I was on the tech side of the warehouse spending my time in both Programming and Design. In my junior year I was selected as one of three FIRST Impact Presenters, placing me into the outreach department. Since becoming Outreach VP, my focus has been on expanding my team's outreach efforts while making sure that outreach opportunities are plentiful!

This team took me from someone who was overlooked to someone who has the courage to do things he wouldn’t have done before joining the team. After joining Team 75, my skills in working with others, public speaking, and organization have increased substantially. After high school, I plan to attend a 4-year university and major in Aerospace Engineering to pursue my dream of working with airplanes!

Program Vice President, Technical

Hi, I'm Neel, a senior and the Technical Program Vice President of Team 75. Before becoming Tech VP, I was a Carpentry member my freshman year, and then a mechanical member for my sophomore and junior year. During my sophomore year, I was the Drive Team Operator for our underclassman Team 428 as well as assistant mechanical manager my junior year. Being a Tech VP, my role has changed from simply building the robot to overseeing the entire robot-building process at once, while also maintaining a steady workplace environment and sustaining consistent output. I also work closely with Team 428, providing oversight to make sure that goals are being met and are on schedule. 

Since joining this team as a freshman, I have learned more than I ever thought I would. I was initially shy, hesitant to get involved, but this team turned me into a passionate leader and gave me an opportunity to learn skills I can't elsewhere. After High School, I plan to pursue a degree in Aerospace Engineering and hopefully work with a company that deals with astronautics and space. If I have learned anything from this team, the most important thing is not to be afraid of failure and to get involved. Thanks. 

Project Vice President, Technical

Hi, I'm Om, a junior and the Technical Project Vice President. I started my journey on the design team in our freshman and sophomore Team 428. I was a 2-year member of the design team, serving as the design manager for Team 75 for 1 year. Since becoming a VP, my responsibilities have shifted to ensuring that our technical members all feel they are getting an educating and enriching experience. On top of that, I try my best to make sure the robot development process is quick and efficient through scheduling and allotting time to each subteam.

This team has given me a structured place to learn about all of the aspects of engineering. From scheduling to collaborating with others, the robotics team has taught me all types of skills that I will carry with me through the rest of my life.
