Anjalie Gowda
Physician Assistant student at the George Washington University, Class of 2028, with a focused interest in reproductive health, menstrual equity, and patient-centered care.
Most recently served with the National Health Corps in San Francisco, California, as a Shelter Health Educator with the Department of Public Health. My experiences are documented in short blogs.
I periodically post articles investigating under-discussed topics in the medical field centered around reproductive and maternal health.
As Vice President of the San Francisco chapter of the global PERIOD. movement, I work to address period poverty in the community and advocate for menstrual justice.
