Neha Shah

Neha Shah is a rising senior undergraduate student at UC Berkeley, where she is pursuing a B.A. in Public Health with a minor in South Asian Studies. Neha has served as a health educator in under-resourced Bay Area high schools with Peer Health Exchange and has also worked to reduce educational disparities as a volunteer English teacher in Chiang Rai, Thailand with Learning Enterprises. Since then, she has searched for an opportunity to turn her focus to global health. As such, Neha looks forward to this summer, where she will work with the Global Health Core to plan a Complex Humanitarian Emergency training. She hopes her experience with the HEAL Initiative will give her more exposure to global health and prepare her for the fall semester, where she will be doing field work and taking community and public health courses at the University of Botswana in Gaborone.
