Get to know our team!

Michelle Bodge

President

Hello all! My name is Michelle, and I am President for the Tepper Partners Club. After living in Connecticut my entire life, my partner Matthew, our two cats (Julian and Josie), and I moved to Pittsburgh so that Matthew could attend Tepper. Matthew and I met in 2018 at a concert after he had moved from Boston to Connecticut, and we have been together since! I graduated in 2019 with a B.S. in Biology and currently work as a Medical Laboratory Technologist in oncology, conducting tumor profiling and chemo response testing in both the research and clinical setting.

Matthew and I live in Squirrel Hill South where we have the privilege of being steps away from Frick Park and a 5-minute drive from the Waterfront. Since moving to Pittsburgh, I have loved attending the various sporting events, trying new restaurants and bars, and exploring different hiking spots. Pittsburgh has such a variety of things to do and so much to offer.

Please feel free to reach out anytime about living in Pittsburgh, life as a partner, or anything in general! I'd love to talk.

Sarah Marsh

VP of Operations

Hi everyone! I'm Sarah Marsh (she/they), the VP of Operations. I graduated with my Master's in International Peace and Conflict Resolution in 2021 from Arcadia University out in Philadelphia. I work as a Senior Coordinator for Mercy Corps and also do housing mediation to prevent evictions in Pittsburgh through Just Mediation PGH. I love camping, kayaking, and rock climbing, as well as reading and playing video games. I love books/movies that have fun magic systems or politics, are gay, or are in German, but I can't do horror.

moved to Pittsburgh in July 2022 after visiting my partner, Surya, for many years. Surya and I met in high school and we are happy to finally live in the same city again after so many years. We currently live downtown and love to host get together, movie nights, and Jack Box game nights. We're so excited to welcome you to the TPC!

Joseph Pak

VP of Finance

Hey there, I'm Joseph Pak and I'm currently the VP of Finance for the Tepper Partners Club (2023-2024). I'm interested in finance / management, and I'm excited to work together with this board to deliver great results for the club. Originally from Alabama, I met my partner Jaskirti while we were both pursuing our master’s degree at Columbia University. We recently moved to Pittsburgh in August 2022 so she could pursue her MBA at CMU. We live in East Liberty, where I work from home as a consultant in the pharma industry. We’re enjoying everything the city has to offer, from the food to the nearby parks and coffee shops.

I'm excited to meet everyone and always happy to chat, so don't be shy and let me know if you want to talk about anything from work to TPC or just share cool spots in Pittsburgh. Looking forward to getting to know you all better!

Anusha Gadepalli

Marketing and Communications Chair

Hey there folks! I am Anusha Gadepalli, and I’m the Marketing and Communications chair for the Tepper Partners Club. I am originally from the colorful land of India and in 2019, I went to Germany to pursue my Master’s in Design, where I discovered my passion for UI/UX design. After living up in Germany, I have made my move to the US (Austin, TX) in 2022. I’m currently living my dream as a UI/UX design freelancer.

My husband Krishna Chaitanya (KC) and I moved to Pittsburgh last summer and now we stay at Point breeze. KC and I always love to travel and explore new places. We’re both big fans of bowling, and you can often find us at the bowling alley on weekends, throwing strikes and not embarrassing ourselves. But hey, it’s all in good fun.

Please, feel free to reach out if you have any questions about Pittsburgh, housing, or anything else. I’m happy to share my own experiences and recommendations, or connect you with someone who knows even more!
