My passion for justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion stems from my own experiences and the recognition that everyone deserves equal opportunities to thrive. Through initiatives like Paths (https://bit.ly/paadhai) for first-generation students and ChaiTime for cultural exchange, I strive to create inclusive spaces that empower diverse voices. My public health advocacy work, especially during the pandemic, reinforced the critical importance of addressing social determinants of health and improving healthcare access for underserved communities. What drives me is the belief that small, consistent efforts can create ripples of positive change. By fostering connections, sharing knowledge, and promoting understanding, we can build a more equitable and inclusive world for all.
