Clinical Supervisor at Portia Bell Hume Center (Community Mental Health) in Fremont, CA
Q: How did your Alliant experience contribute to your career growth?
A: My experience at Alliant helped me to understand the cultural nuances with the community in the Bay Area. I appreciate all the practicum training at Alliant as it shaped my career and helped me grow as a clinician. 我找到了课程, and the professors left an everlasting impact in my life and had shaped my career to be a better clinician and serve the community.
问:你工作中最喜欢的是什么?
A: At the Hume Center we serve the underprivileged and also the South Asian Community. I enjoy doing outreach and being able to reach out to the community to break the stigma around mental health. I enjoy being able to provide services in native Indian languages like Hindi, 古吉拉特语和马拉地语, 除了英语.
Q: What inspires you to make a positive difference in the world?
A:我的生活就是我的灵感. I have turned towards this field much later in life and I think it is mainly because I find immense satisfaction from trying to help others and make a difference in their lives.
Q: Do you have advice for current students interested in your profession?
A: I would highly recommend current students to stay structured and organized. 联系你的教授和学术顾问, 他们很好，总是愿意帮助你. Most importantly you will feel at times this is overwhelming but never give up!
