Nirali Rajani | GSBC – Director
Nirali is a healthcare professional and works in health informatics with a health authority in BC. Working for ehealth and EMR is her professional interests.
Moved to Canada about 3 years ago, GSBC was the first society Nirali was associated with. She volunteered for many events before becoming a Director of GSBC. She is also a part of the Indian community in Vancouver called – “Diasporaa” as a Volunteer Community Manager. She is also a volunteer with University of Victoria as a health coach.
GSBC is a great organization for the Gujarati community in BC. Working in healthcare has made Nirali understand the concept of giving back to the communities and that made her be associated with GSBC.
Nirali believes in Gratitude. We are privileged and will always have something to be thankful for. She loves travelling, managing events, listening to music and playing Badminton.
