Sunitha lives in Northern Virginia with her husband and two children. After nearly two years of consulting with various specialists and countless tests, in 2020, Sunitha learned that her daughter has a CACNA1A gene variant. The CACNA1A Foundation has been a tremendous source of hope and support for her family as they navigate their rare disease journey. Sunitha is honored to be a member of the CACNA1A Foundation's Board of Directors because she deeply believes in the promise of the Foundation's mission to accelerate the development of treatment options for CACNA1A children and shares the sense of urgency that drives the Foundation's work.

Sunitha is also an attorney. She previously worked in the private investments group at an international law firm. She also represented small businesses and nonprofits in the DC metro area and taught at Georgetown Law. She is a Governing Board member of COMBINEDBrain, a nonprofit consortium devoted to speeding the path to clinical treatments for people with rare genetic neurodevelopmental disorders.
