Really proud to have been part of the Caribbean Epilepsy Conference!

We had meaningful regional conversations on women’s health in epilepsy, improving access to anti-seizure medications, and—most importantly—starting the discussion on expanding epilepsy surgery access across the Caribbean.
Fun fact: Trinidad & Tobago has performed the most epilepsy surgeries in the Caribbean (open as well as Neuro modulation)… definitely something to be proud of.

It was great reconnecting with colleagues:
• My med school batchmate and newly elected Caribbean Epilepsy Society President, Dr. Simeona Jacinta
• Dr. Dave Clarke, Chair of the International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE) North America
• And my former boss from Montreal, Dr. Dang Nguyen, past Chair of ILAE North America, who somehow has not aged a single day!

Congrats on the Long Service Aware Aruna. You deserve it immensely.

Grateful to our sponsors, Abbott and MSN, and happy to see SAFTT (Seizure Awareness Foundation of Trinidad & Tobago) joining the conversation.

Huge congratulations to Dr Vanita Shukla , my go to Paeds Neurologist, for organizing a fantastic conference.

Already looking forward to the next one!

I am so grateful to have given the feature address at my Alma Mater’s Annual Graduation and Prize Giving Ceremony 2025.

It is always sentimental returning to the place that gave me some of the happiest memories of my life, a place that instilled lasting values, lifelong friendships, and shaped so much of who I am today.

Even sweeter, this came exactly 20 years after my own graduation, when I stood on that same stage giving the valedictory speech.

My heart is bursting full of gratitude!
