About

Hello! नमस्ते! I am Avani Joshi, a rising college freshman at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and from Roscoe, Illinois. My first spelling bee was the South Asian Spelling Bee Chicago Regionals in 2017. I won my school spelling bee 4x over the years, and won my regional spelling bee 2x. I competed in the 2019 and 2021 Scripps National Spelling Bee after winning the respective year's school and regional spelling bees. 

My spelling career's apex was at the 2021 Scripps National Spelling Bee where I finished as a finalist, tying for 7th place.
