Title: Current Community-Oriented Primary Care (COPC) Program Student

With GW since: Fall 2025

Center Role: COPC/HP/CHPS Program Graduate Student Assistant

I Chose GW Because: I chose GW because of the endless opportunities to integrate and apply my public health education with unique community organizations, NGOs, and government agencies. Not only do I love Milken for studying and working, but the faculty and peers in Milken provide a welcoming environment where they help me grow professionally and personally. I liked that Milken is one of the few schools with such niche concentrations like Community-Oriented Primary Care, which was a perfect fit to bridge my passion for healthcare and community health.

Bragging Rights: I graduated from Virginia Commonwealth University with my B.S. in Psychology and double minor in Biology and Chemistry in 3 years! 

Hobbies/Personal Interests: In my free time, I love to watch romcoms, hike trails with beautiful views, play badminton, and cook new recipes that I post on my food blog. Anytime I travel, I am constantly exploring new restaurants, famous landmarks, and cultural practices. 

People Might Be Surprised to Know That: I was on the GW bollywood fusion dance team, Garmi!
