I started an organization at UNC called Spice and Wellness Society which is dedicated to spreading awareness, improving educating, and increasing heath access surrounding cardiovascular disease and diabetes within the South Asian Community. Due to genetic, historical, and cultural factors, South Asians are more at risk for developing those diseases, but many don’t know how to combat those risk factors. As a team we provide free heart screenings to local temples, partner with PhD student to advance cardiometabolic research, created a heart healthy South Asian based cook book, and provide weekly health articles with a South Asian focus.
