Pursuing Medicine & the Crown w/Miss India USA Aaishwariya Gulani

Pageants & Prosecco

Joining the Posse on this fantastic talk is Miss India USA Aaishwariya Gulani! The med student and valedictorian is sharing her message of pursuing your passion while in the middle of pursuing your highest academic achievement. As a student of ophthalmology, Aaishwariya is on a mission to eradicate blindness and changing lives through the power of corrective vision. Plenty of brains on this beauty as she was her high school's Valedictorian, before attending the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania for business. Her work with healthcare globally is something she wants to continue to work towards to improve global health disparities world wide.

She's also conquering the artistic world on top of academics like her Bharatanatyam Arangetram, a traditional study of dance in the Indian Culture. Arangetram is the debut on-stage performance of a former student of Indian classical dance and music. This first performance follows years of training and many Indian classical dance forms perform an arangetram once the time has come for a disciple.

As a physician and current title holder of Miss India USA, it is her belief and mission to spread the idea that people can pursue both: Medicine and their passions.

Grab your glasses for this enlightening discussion on women in academics, how and why woman can truly do it all and she is gained her strength to compete in pageants only after she received her acceptance into medical school via a phone call. Aaishwariya is sipping on something white and I have something red in my glass. Tune in for this great convo!
