Bio

I am a graduate student in mental health counseling and an immigrant from India. Growing up, I witnessed how mental health struggles were often silenced in my community, and a close family member’s experience made that silence deeply personal. That experience shaped my commitment to compassionate, culturally responsive care. My goal is to become a counselor and advocate who creates safe spaces for marginalized communities, helps reduce stigma, and expands access to mental health resources. I would deeply appreciate this scholarship and would put it to meaningful use in supporting my education and future work in mental health.
