HI, I AM AARUSHI PATEL
About Me
Hi, I'm Aarushi — a learner, leader, and changemaker.
Currently a high school student at Jamnabai Narsee School, I’m passionate about psychology, public speaking, and community impact. From leading The TEDEd club and Model UN teams to interning in mental health organizations and publishing research on brand psychology, I believe in combining creativity with empathy to drive meaningful change. Whether it’s mentoring peers, crafting cultural exchanges, or advocating for mental health and menstrual equity — I show up with curiosity, commitment, and a collaborative spirit.
