Lakshmi joined RRP in the early stages, and started by mentoring one of the families. She has since become the Secretary of the organization and also serves as the Medical Committee Chair. She is a dietitian by training and currently works with the pediatric population, where she comes across many refugee and immigrant clients. She was born and raised in Africa, and much of her passion for working with the refugee community stems from her upbringing in these other countries. In her free time she enjoys spending time with her children and husband, as well as traveling, and trying foods from around the world.
