Leadership
Founder and Director - Burn Support Bangladesh

After recovering from a serious burn injury, I wanted to do something meaningful with that experience. I went on to establish a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that now brings together a team of 20 volunteers. We’ve organized awareness and prevention campaigns across two continents and raised funds to cover treatment for 76 children at the National Institute of Burn and Plastic Surgery in Dhaka. Along the way, I’ve been working closely with social workers and medical professionals to make sure the kids not only get care but also the support they need after treatment.
