Our Team

Radha Sharma

President & Founder

Hello! My personal story and passion for science communication led me to create this organization. We aim to increase awareness about cardiovascular diseases in disadvantaged populations. Several ethnic groups, and members from low socioeconomic positions are at greater risk for acquiring these debilitating pathologies. My team and I hope to relay evidence-based science in a way that is accessible for everyone regardless of their age, or background!
