Highlights: Sriya got involved with the concept of social justice at Brandeis Unviersity, where she double majored in "Health, Science, Society & Policy" (HSSP) and biology. This linked well with her goal of wanting to work in the health sector in India. She had lived in Mumbai for most of her life but, during the summer of 2009, she had her first experience of venturing into urban slums Sagam Nagar slum area on a university trip. The following summer, Sriya returned to India and volunteered with an NGO called the Society for Nutrition, Education and Health Action (SNEHA) in Mumbai. Sriya also interned with Observer Research Foundation, Mumbai on a project to outline the various mental health policies in India and did a case study on the M.B. Barvalia Foundation in Mumbai.
