Saanika is a junior at Silver Creek High School in San Jose, California. As an Ambassador last year, she learned how to be a Miss CEO in her own life and impacted young women through various events. Participating in the Leadership Lab and Leadership Circle series deepened her passion for promoting female empowerment. At school, Saanika enjoys learning Japanese and is President of the Japanese National Honor Society. At her school district, she represented the SCHS Class of ‘26 in the Student Governing Board, where she worked to address issues facing students throughout the district. Outside of school, Saanika enjoys scouting and is an Eagle Rank candidate, the highest achievement in Scouts BSA. She served as her troop’s Senior Patrol Leader—the highest youth leadership role—and volunteered as staff for the National Youth Leadership Training camp. Saanika’s love for the outdoors and working with children led her to volunteer as a Cabin Leader for Walden West Science Camp. Her passions include playing trumpet, euphonium, and drums. As an individual, Saanika is very social and loves meeting new people. She’s excited to be a part of the Miss CEO Ambassador team again this year and looks forward to an amazing year!
