As a female Indian immigrant residing in the United States, I am sensitive to the challenges that women of color face in academics. Through my grad school and postdoctoral training, I have looked for ways to inspire young minds, promote women researchers and build a welcoming academic community. I have volunteered at Connect2STEM and Girls in STEM events. I served as the social media chair as part of the Graduate Women in Science (GWIS) Arizona chapter. At Stanford, as part of the SURPAS leadership team, I’ve been involved to build a strong community and provide an efficient platform for all postdocs to connect, engage and communicate.
