Vishalli Loomba is a Bay Area native who is deeply passionate about eliminating health disparities and centering the priorities of historically underserved and marginalized populations. Vishalli completed her undergraduate degree in Molecular and Cell Biology and Global Poverty at UC Berkeley. As an undergraduate, she developed a passion for equity and anti-racist activism through her experiences as the first South Asian Student Body President of UC Berkeley. After graduating, she conducted research on trauma-informed care for low-income women of color living with HIV at UCSF. She then helped establish the UCSF Center to Advance Trauma-informed Care and completed her Masters in Public Health, where she furthered her interest in health care delivery models. Vishalli then went on to serve as the Senior Project Manager for the California ACEs Learning and Quality Improvement Collaborative– a statewide initiative to develop the evidence base for how to effectively screen for and respond to adversity for low-income Californians. Currently, she is an MD/MSc. student at the Joint Medical Program with UC Berkeley School of Public Health and UCSF School of Medicine. Vishalli is a fervent social justice health advocate who hopes to use her talents to create an inclusive and intersectional framework for healthcare for all.
