Read what she has to say below:

I joined Acacia in April of 2022. I fell in love with TMS after college and wanted to see more of what it can do. My boss Manuj Nangia at the time introduced me to Acacia and upon interviewing at Acacia, I felt that there was something very special here. Aside from being impressed by all the things that Acacia was doing and accomplishing, I was moved by the love that permeates through the clinic. 🌱
I think some of the most important aspects to flourishing in life include humor, love, and getting to know yourself. I think it’s so important to incorporate laughter in life and it’s not just something that brings people together - it’s a symbolism of my resilience. Love is one of the most important things that provides me purpose and gives me a reason for everything that I do. Lastly, getting to know myself has been so essential to allowing myself to be loved, to feel peace, and to know how much I can give versus when I need to ask for help.
Some of the most memorable moments at Acacia include the spaces in between the big moments. The very early mornings before the sun even rises when I am preparing for the day’s treatments with my coworkers or the very late nights after a big events when people are grazing on the leftover food and putting together the clinic. The collective effervescence of those moments is something very special and something that I cherish deeply. ⛅🌙💙
