Hi District 8 FBLA! I’m Satya Somalanka, I go by Sahasra, and I’m super excited for you to get to know me! I attend Wharton High School and am in the class of 2026. Currently serving as my chapter’s Co-Vice President, I’ve worked to assist my chapter members by helping them prepare for competitions, navigate challenges, and achieve success. Beyond FBLA, I enjoy reading, writing, and art in my free time. I’m extremely grateful for the opportunities FBLA has given me and I can’t wait to achieve great things these coming years!
Satya Somalanka
District 8 Vice President Candidate
Hello District 8 FBLA! My name is Luke Dostal. I’m a junior at Wharton High School, and I’m running to be your next Secretary. During my time in FBLA, I’ve made countless memories, from late-night study sessions with my teammates to doordashing Shake Shack at the National Leadership Conference. FBLA has introduced me to new people and brought me even closer to the friends I already had. I hope that in the District 8 Leadership team, I can ensure that FBLA is a productive place where people can gain experiences that they’ll hold for a lifetime.

My name is Aneesha Mohanty. I have a strong drive for business and the well-fare of this organization. Due to past experiences in FBLA, I thrive for success and know that I can add so much to this organization. Likewise, to many members in FBLA, I love to communicate and can keep an open mind to all things. I have watched FBLA do amazing things for others, and it would be great if I could be a part of the process as well.
