A political science fanatic and lover of all things creative, Shruthi Avuthu is more than ready to take on the boundless challenges, bittersweet memories, and lifelong friendships that can only strengthen with senior year. The co-founder of Flower Mound’s Model UN chapter and a debater since her early days as a freshman, Shruthi gracefully carries the ambition of a journalist whose skilled pen moves with editorial precision. As she consistently uncovers perspectives where political divergence collides with understanding, she aims to foster a sense of humanity as the devoted change-maker she strives to be. 

As the newspaper’s digital marketer and social media manager, there’s something measured in how Shruthi approaches each piece, whether it’s dissecting political divisions, current events, or simply expanding the publication’s reach.

This year, she’s focused on bringing more recognition to the FM Wire, as she hopes to transform this small but passionate team into something the world cannot ignore. Between her dreams of skipping on cobblestones in Southern Europe to the simple pleasure of singing in the shower after long days spent convincing the world to listen a little longer, she writes as if each word might be the one that finally makes sense of it all. 

Shruthi is a senior, and this is her second year with the FM Wire.
