I was born in The U.S. but spent a significant amount of time living in India, before moving back to The United States. Seeing two very different societies, and the way those teens and young adults function, has made me passionate about mental health.
I am on a mission to increase teen mental health awareness, and advocate for teens and young adults to be aware, mindful, and honest about their struggles. So many are facing these issues in silence. I hope that raising awareness will remove the stigma associated with getting help, and more young people can live happy and fulfilling lives.
I am working to make this website full of research, resources, and videos that can hopefully educate teens and young adults, as well as make them more confident in knowing they are not alone.
Personally, I am also a big soccer fan, having played my entire life. Last season we won the State Championship, and I am hoping we repeat it this year! I was also so lucky to have the once-in-a-lifetime experience of watching The World Cup in Qatar last year, and even carrying a flag for a team before the game.
