Sri Avula recently earned his Bachelor’s degree in Management Information Systems from George Mason University’s Costello College of Business. Originally born in Maryland, he spent part of his childhood in India with his grandparents before relocating to Virginia, where he has lived for the past twelve years.

Sri has developed strong skills in data analysis, including hands-on experience supporting the Fairfax County Economic Development Authority by delivering a solution to address one of their business challenges. He is passionate about uncovering insights through data, identifying meaningful patterns, and helping organizations make informed decisions.

Outside of academics and professional work, Sri enjoys spending time outdoors, riding motorcycles, playing Fortnite, and connecting with family and friends. He is grateful for his experience at George Mason University, where he built valuable relationships with peers and faculty and gained the skills and confidence to succeed in his career. Ultimately he would like to work for himself and create his own business and have an entrepreneurial career.

"I first took Professor Ngac for MIS 330, and the class immediately stood out to me. I really liked how the course was designed to simulate a real improvement process throughout the semester. That experience made me want to take another class with him, which is how I discovered MIS 462 (PREP). Since I wasn’t in the Honors program, I reached out to my previous instructor, Professor Shun Ye, who kindly recommended me for the course.

I truly enjoyed Professor Ngac’s teaching in both MIS 330 and MIS 462. In MIS 330, we worked on a semester-long project that we built step by step and refined at the end, which really helped me learn how to develop a solution properly. MIS 462 was the most important class I took at George Mason. It was the only course where we worked directly with a real client, solved a real problem, and collaborated independently as a professional team.

Professor Ngac was an amazing professor in every way. He was supportive, provided thoughtful and timely feedback, and always responded quickly to our questions. Overall, he is a great mentor and someone I genuinely enjoyed learning from."
