Speaker Bio:
Pavani Srinivasan is a television producer and writer based in the Washington, DC area. Originally from New York, she got her start working for the competition nonfiction television series, 24 Hour Catwalk. She then was able to secure work on other popular projects such as Celebrity Apprentice and Ink Master.
As she grew in her career, Pavani was given the opportunity to work as a producer and writer on history-based programming and was able to tell stories about minorities and women. She is passionate about being able to give life to narratives that are not often represented in the mainstream media.
