Anitha is Global Health Corps Alum and as a global health champion who has been recently exposed to working with global health institutions, she is driven to tackle health inequities by leveraging her skills and experience in communications, marketing, and social initiatives she has been a part of in both corporate and non-profit settings in Rwanda.
