My journey began with earning my Master's degree in Psychology from UW–Madison on a student visa, carrying nothing but big dreams and a deep determination to build a better future. Leaving my life behind in India and choosing to stay, put down roots, and file for citizenship was not an easy decision; it was a purposeful and meaningful one. From an international student to a proud citizen of the United States, every step of this journey has shaped who I am today.
My Professional Experience
I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor specializing in Substance Use Disorder (SUD), with 15 years of experience providing direct mental health counseling services, I bring more than six years of leadership experience, including managing and expanding services by overseeing budgets and contracts, identifying program gaps, developing strategy, and launching new initiatives for growth.
In my previous roles, I worked with the Department of Health Services as a Substance Use Services Section Supervisor, where I oversaw budgets and contracts and supported multiple initiatives to deliver SUD services across Wisconsin. I’ve also served as a Drug Court Supervisor for Dane County, focusing on reducing recidivism and supporting individuals in accessing and completing treatment. Earlier in my career, I worked as a Program Manager and Program Director in nonprofit organizations.
Currently, I’m a Program Director for Outpatient Services, focused on delivering the best possible patient care while developing and launching new initiatives to explore and support program expansion.

If you are a parent, a homeowner, or an immigrant, you know the stress and the stigma that can come with these labels. You are not alone. Let's stand together and advocate for our rights and our future.
