“From the time of my application process for the Fulbright-Nehru Scholar grant in 2015, I was impressed with the Fulbright mission to promote international research collaboration, networking, and relations. I enjoyed meeting the Indian Fulbright scholars in India. After returning to US in 2017, I have joined the Fulbright Association, participated in regional meetings, and traveled to Iceland with a group of wonderful members. These experiences have helped me, and I would like to serve in the organization to share the same positive experiences with other scholars.”

“My professional, academic, and community experiences will demonstrate my experience in executive, financial, and strategic management roles in large and small organizations in multiple sectors. I would like to offer my services in any capacity as a board member to fit the needs of Fulbright Association. I have taken on multiple roles and responsibilities at the organizations that I have served in, and will look forward to doing the same at Fulbright Association.”
