Me

I’m a 2011 GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) PULSE participant. The GSK PULSE Partnership program, launched in April 2009, is an initiative that gives employees an opportunity to use their professional skills and knowledge during a three or six month immersion experience within a non-profit or non-governmental organization (PULSE Partner) to make a sustainable difference for communities and patients in need. For more about the PULSE program: http://www.gsk.com/community/pulse

For the next 6 months, I’ll be working with Direct Relief International (DRI), a non-sectarian, non-profit, disaster relief and health assistance organization located in Santa Barbara, California, USA. DRI provides medical goods to institutions and organizations serving those affected by poverty, natural disasters, and civil unrest throughout the world. DRI currently works in partnership with hospitals, clinics, and non-profit organizations throughout the United States as well as Africa, Asia, Latin America, and Eastern Europe. My time with DRI will be focused on exploring the feasibility of establishing a National Charitable Medicine Foundation in India to increase access to medical products for people in India.
