Ananya Cleetus doesn't let anything stop her from creating and using her talents to help those around her. Having suffered from mental illness and suicidal thoughts, Ananya Cleetus is familiar with dealing with a mental health crisis. However, in taking those experiences and letting them inspire her to do better for people who are experiencing similar things, she created the app Anemone which helps individuals suffering with mental illness to create a crisis plan, and works to change the conversation around mental illness in the digital age. Ananya Cleetus is the Founder and Developer of Anemone, a mental health crisis app for people experiencing mental health emergencies. Being bipolar herself, she understands the importance of having digital tools to manage mental health in today's world. Ananya also developed a 3D-printed robotic prosthetic hand for leprosy victims in India. She was invited to the White House to present her robotic hand, while the Mayor of Pittsburgh named a day after her in the city of Pittsburgh. She was also recognized for her social network start-up, Magikstra, at the Carnegie Science Awards as its youngest recipient ever. When she's not coding or tinkering around, Ananya likes to make memes (She's the founder of UIUC Memes For Underfunded Teens and an admin for Microsoft's meme group), and bake pecan pies. Hear her talk about how to combat mental health in a digital world and share her personal experiences about being a college student with mental health illness.
