I’m a First Generation Canadian – my parents immigrated from India before I was born. I attended ESL classes and can speak four languages. I teach anxiety workshops and bhangra (Indian folk dance) to promote wellness. My mission as an advocate for mental health is to raise awareness and eliminate stigmas.

I have a profound love for spicy foods and chocolate – YUM! Growing up, I wasn’t much of a cook but losing weight challenged me to get creative in the kitchen especially because I’m vegetarian. I enjoy creating new recipes and recreating my mom’s Indian food recipes.
