FOUNDER, ENTHUSIAST
Sirisha Karra
Sirisha Karra is a 2020 graduate from Appalachian State University with a BSBA degree and a passion for all things subscription box. She first came up with the idea when moving out of her apartment upon graduation, and realized that hey - the journey of her home in Boone didn't need to end there.
​
With her background in nonprofit work and community engagement, Sirisha aims to bring empowerment and support to local artisans and businesses through the Mountaineer Box. In her free time, you can find her cuddled up with a cup of coffee watching The Office, or outside hiking and exploring new areas!

"It's time to bring a voice to everything local, and we aim to do that with the Mountaineer Box"
