I am grateful to have had the opportunity to be a part of this organization as a Health Coach and a Trainee Psycho-oncologist.
I am glad that in the process, I was able to help the community and engage with esteemed professionals in the field, such as Dr. Pouru Dhabhar, Dr. Jeyhan, Dr. Boman, especially my mentor Ms. Manisha Sonavadekar.
Heartfelt thanks to Dr. Khurshid Mistry and Ms. Manisha Sonavadekar, who facilitated me to get this internship by being a constant guide, touching lives as well as developing my skills in counseling in an Oncology healthcare setting as well as building up knowledge.
