Interests: neuroscience outreach, non-profit leadership, neuro-epidemiology, cross-cultural neuroethics, medical humanities, stroke, brain injury, global health, science communication, clinical research Hello! I'm the founder and CEO of Simply Neuroscience, a global non-profit organization expanding early-career neuroscience/psychology education, outreach, and awareness through interdisciplinary initiatives. SN is one of the world’s largest neuroscience learning communities, positively impacting 49,000+ young brain enthusiasts across 142 countries. We're on a mission to revolutionize the world of early neuroscience education — helping build a world where all youth can pursue their curiosity for the brain, regardless of their location, age, identity, or background. Beyond SN, I serve in leadership and advisory roles with advocacy organizations and platforms such as 500 Women Scientists, Society for Neuroscience, HFC, American Brain Coalition, International Neuroethics Society, and ALBA Network. I'm a youth science communicator and three-time TEDx speaker who has presented at 165+ conferences, summits, and universities worldwide. I'm a recent alumna of Columbia University, where I pursued a Bachelor of Arts in Medical Humanities and Master of Public Health in neuro-epidemiology; I graduated from Columbia at 19 years old as the youngest member of my cohort. Outside of academics, I'm passionate about improving outcomes for brain injury and stroke patients through clinical research. Previously, I conducted research focusing on neurodegenerative diseases, memory, and depression. In 2019, I was named the CA Science and Engineering Fair’s Student of the Year and an Interntl. Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF) finalist for investigating the longevity compound rapamycin’s effects on brain tissue in mice. I'm a proud alumna of the USA National Brain Bee, Natl. History Day CA, and Hugh O’Brian Youth Leadership (HOBY). For my community outreach efforts, I've had the honor of being recognized as a Global Teen Leader, Everyday Young Hero, and Alzheimer's Association AAIC Neuroscience Next One to Watch, as well as a Daily Point of Light Award, Presidential Volunteer Service Award, One in a Million Award recipient, among others. An Indian-American born and raised in northern California, I enjoy exploring nature trails, gardening, practicing taekwondo as a 3rd-degree black belt, and watching Telugu movies with family in my free time.
