Welcome our Summer Advocacy Intern!

FD/MAS Alliance relies on an engaged community to advance our priorities for research, healthcare, and advocacy. That’s why we were thrilled when Hrithik Yarlagadda, a Patient Advisory Council Member, offered to volunteer as a summer advocacy intern with us. Here’s a bit about Hrithik:

Hello! My name is Hrithik Yarlagadda. I am a high school junior in North Carolina. I love rowing, and have been rowing for 4 years as an athlete on the Charlotte Youth Rowing Club. When I’m not rowing, I love experimenting with a new recipe, watching a tv show, or practicing my driving.

This summer, I’ll be serving as an unpaid intern for the FD/MAS Alliance. My goals in this position are to build my experience with communications, increase nationwide awareness for FD/MAS, and contribute to the community that has helped me so much throughout my life. As a member of the PAC and an intern for the FD/MAS Alliance, I will continue to do my best to serve this community and help it thrive.
