Welcome to Your City: Chicago

I am a Chicago native who has recently launched a fin-tech company following a career in banking where I held a role as SVP, Public Finance. Completed an MPA from HKS in 2025 to enhance public service impact. Looking forward to connecting with local alumni.

I recently moved to Hyde Park to begin a master’s program in International Relations at UChicago after completing my LL.M. at HLS. I’m excited to meet the Harvard community in Chicago and to learn more about this amazing city!

I'm new to the city after teaching and coaching in New Hampshire, and I'm excited to connect with the Harvard community!

I’m Sirisha (Siri) Bommireddipalli, Founder & CEO of MedConverge, where I spend my days building at the intersection of healthcare innovation, revenue cycle strategy, and physician independence. My business interests are rooted in helping practices thrive in today’s changing landscape, whether that means reimagining revenue models, enabling value-based care, or exploring how AI can reshape healthcare operations. Outside of work, you’ll usually find me on my yoga mat practicing the full Ashtanga primary series (sometimes at 5am!) or with paintbrush in hand working on portraits, figures, and plein-air landscapes in oil and watercolor. Both yoga and art are my way of keeping balance, disciplined, expressive, and endlessly humbling pursuits that ground me while I grow a business. I love connecting with fellow alumni who are passionate about innovation, creativity, and making an impact.

I am an architect and urban designer passionate about cities, public space, and the ways the built environment shapes the human experience. My work integrates urban design, architecture, and spatial data analysis to shape cities that are kind to people and the broader ecosystems.

I just moved to Chicago at the end of this summer and am excited to connect with the local Harvard community.

Hello, my name is Neha and I am an architect from Bangalore, India. Being drawn to architecture for its relationship with its surrounding concomitants, particularly material and labour, I am curious about its influence to reframe our current environmental concerns into a more cultural and anthropological understanding. After graduating from the M.Arch II program, I currently work at Studio Gang as a Designer.

My name is Frankie Hill; I just moved to Chicago after four years of working in the Biden Administration in Washington, DC. I worked at the White House, helping to formulate the nation's COVID response, before moving to USDA to work on food policy and antipoverty issues.
