Sailaja Darisipudi

Sailaja Darisipudi(she/her), the senior editor for social media and audience generation for CURE Today, has been with MJH Life Sciences since June 2022. Sailaja has previously led communications for nonprofit organizations fighting against gendered violence and worked as an educator. She believes passionately in fighting for gender equality, destigmatizing mental health, making quality health resources available across socio-economic statuses and decreasing the gap between public education and the complexities of the American health care system. At Rutgers University, Sailaja studied public health, wrote and edited for newspapers such as RU Examiner and EMSOP Chronicles and accumulated an alarming number of parking tickets. When not working, Sailaja can be found getting lost (literally and metaphorically) in new cities, overanalyzing various romance books and streaming shows, and ordering all the vegetarian items at different restaurants.
