" Global health begins locally, and while I hope to one day be in a position to address the healthcare burdens individuals face abroad, my desire to take part in structural change as an undergraduate has pushed me to pursue service and research at home. Being a Millennium Fellow will provide me with the necessary skills to effect change in the world and alleviate health disparities through both knowledge and action. "

Millennium Fellowship Project: Collegiate Foundations

I am part of the team that promotes equitable access to higher education. As a mentor with the organization Collegiate Foundations, I assist first-generation, low-income students in achieving their higher educational goals. Many students are either not able to go to college or are at risk of dropping out because they lack the essential skills to succeed in college. The mentoring program offered by Collegiate Foundations seeks to bridge this gap by providing mentoring services to these students. At Collegiate Foundations, we guide students through classes that they are struggling with at school, as well as general English comprehension and study skills. Additionally, we assist them with standardized testing, college applications, financial aid applications, organizational skills, and communication skills. The mission of Collegiate Foundations is to ensure that every student is able to fulfill their goal of pursuing higher education.

She is fascinated by the interdisciplinary nature of global health and her interests are mostly centered in maternal and infant health. She hopes to combine her passion for health advocacy and research to alleviate the burden mothers and children face by working at the intersection of medicine, research, and policy. As a first-generation Nepali-American, she has observed disparities in terms of healthcare, wealth, and education and she hopes to use this opportunity as a Millennium Fellow to develop leadership skills to be an agent of change.
