She says, “Growing up in India I saw a lot of poverty, starvation, lack of clean water, and poor hygiene and abject living conditions for the poorest sections of society. I know Rotary can help.”
She has been in the banking industry for over 20 years with Discover Financial Services and, previously, for Citigroup. While having a full time job, she has found time to help community projects in Trumbull, Bridgeport and Fairfield.
“Through Trumbull Rotary members and the many club projects, I will be able to do even more in years to come,” she said.
