Hi, I'm Nadha. I'm a Toronto-based doctoral candidate who is constantly (un)learning. I'm focused on research and action at the intersections of public health x public urban space x intersectional anti-racism.
From health equity research to writing to creative projects, my main aim is to do meaningful work with great people. My research and community work is informed by my intersectional lived experience, interdisciplinary education, and diverse work experience.
If you'd like to connect, I'm on Twitter. Or send me an email to collaborate.
