Our Leaders
Renée Menezes ~ President
Major: Supply Chain Management and CIS Tech
Hello! My name is Saanvi and am a senior at the University of Texas at Dallas. As a servant leader, I aspire to develop my skills in order to uplift others. As our PGN mission statement goes, we motivate students into pursuing their passions and I want to be one of the driving forces for that change. PGN means more than a student organization to me; it means an opportunity for me to cultivate a culture I would like to grow in for myself and for future students of UT Dallas. It is my personal mission to offer the chance for budding students to develop themselves and be a mentor for many more.
Alongside my professional ambitions, I am dedicated to being a well-rounded individual. For the past 12 years, I have been professionally trained in gymnastics, karate, swimming, Kathak, and western dance forms. Apart from various sports, I am a violinist, avid reader and artist which has enabled me to think creatively and be open-minded. I am a firm believer that my success lies in my own two hands and the more I dig my hands into, the more exciting and fulfilling my future will be!
Anoushka Bobba ~
VP of External Affairs
Major: Global Business
Hello! My name is Anoushka Bobba, and I am a sophomore at the University of Texas at Dallas majoring in Global Business on the pre-law track. I currently serve as the Vice President of External Affairs for Phi Gamma Nu, where I work to strengthen relationships with other organizations and help create meaningful opportunities for collaboration and community impact.
Outside of my academic and organizational commitments, I am passionate about personal discipline and continuous growth. I practice martial arts, including jujitsu, which has taught me resilience, focus, and the importance of perseverance. These experiences have shaped the way I approach challenges, whether in leadership, academics, or everyday life.

Hiya! My name is Allan Flores. PGN has numerous resources that will allow students to expand their knowledge and know exactly what recruiters are looking for in both aspects, such as working through the interview process and strengthening their resume. PGN will allow me to create an atmosphere where I can develop professional skills and friendships that last forever, not just in college. I personally hope that everyone who joins PGN can learn and grow from each other which can raise your experience while being in PGN.
My favorite hobbies are rock climbing, playing the piano, watching sports, and listening to music. I plan on getting my master's degree in Business Analytics and Artificial Intelligence. I am eager to start the school year with PGN and benefit from what PGN has in store for me.

Heyyy! My name is Mihira Kada, and I am currently a junior at The University of Texas at Dallas. When I first joined Phi Gamma Nu, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but over the past two years, it has become one of the most meaningful parts of my college experience. PGN has given me not only professional growth, but also some of my closest friendships and strongest support systems. Now, as VPF, I’m incredibly grateful to be part of the leadership team working to elevate our chapter and contribute to its continued growth and impact.
Outside of PGN, I enjoy singing, dancing, getting creative, and exploring new things with my friends! I love connecting with others, creating memorable experiences, and taking on challenges that push me to grow both personally and professionally. My goal is to continue developing as a strong leader and to make a lasting impact wherever I go.
