Preesha has been a lifelong member of the oldest high-IQ society in the world, Mensa Foundation, which is well known. To participate, one must score in the 98th percentile on a standardized, monitored IQ test or similar approved intellectual evaluation. She achieved this at the age of six by scoring in the 99th percentile on the national NNAT (Naglieri Nonverbal Ability Test), which assesses students in grades K–12 for gifted and talented programs. Outside of school, Preesha enjoys hiking, traveling, and mixed martial arts. Preesha's parents claim that their daughter has always had a great desire to learn and shown exceptional academic skills.
“Every man has a specific skill, whether it is discovered or not, that more readily and naturally comes to him than it would to another, and his own should be sought and polished. He excels best in his niche - originality loses its authenticity in one's efforts to obtain originality.”
