Join us in welcoming our newest intern, Jugnu Shrestha, to the Center. Take a moment to learn more about her path to the Swetland Center in the interview below.

What is your role and what projects will you be working on? 
I will be working with the REACH team. 

Where are you from? 

Lakewood, Ohio

What is your background?

I have a medical background as well as a background in public health. I have experience in QI studies as well as clinical studies.

What excites you about joining the Swetland Center?

I am excited about being part of a project that can be applied in the primary care setting where I intend to work. There is a lot of food insecurity and lack of access in the population that I hope to work with. I am excited about working to alleviate certain health disparities.

What is your favorite outdoor space in Cleveland or a place you want to explore? 

In terms of food I love the patio seating at All Saints Public House in Battery Park. In terms of nature, I love the rocky river reservation to run and explore.

Is there a piece of advice have you been given or a quote/statement that is significant to you?

Embrace discomfort.
