I like making a positive impact on other people's lives. I also am a big fan of public health and a more of an upstream approach to solving health inequalities. I work with an NGO, the National Council of Women, and represented them at the United Nations last year in New York. Gender inequality is prevalent in healthcare as well. My parents migrated to England from Sri Lanka before I was born, and I went back two years ago and worked in a hospital there for a month - it really helped emphasis the importance of good universal healthcare and diminishing health inequality gaps between rural and urban communities.
