Nivriti Deshpande

Development Director

Bio: Nivriti is a junior in high school from Bentonville, Arkansas. She has always been passionate about music, youth advocacy, and community service. Her journey with music, specifically Indian Carnatic Music, started when she was eight. Since then, music has progressed to become a part of who she is after having sung for almost half of her life. In pursuit of creating a professional avenue in music for herself, Nivriti has completed three of the four-year Indian Carnatic Music degree with SAMPADA (SiliconAndhra Music, Performing Arts, and Dance Academy) and is currently pursuing her final year. Aside from her interest in singing, Nivriti is a vocal advocate for educational equity in her community and works with organizations like LOUDwomen and ECAASU. With the ability to combine her interests in community service and music through Art of the Heart, Nivriti is eager to work with her fellow exec team members to connect lives through music.
