    My name is Niyomi Shah - a student part of the GMED program at VCU! I have been involved with Rotary for many years — seeing my grandparents serve in Rotary as club officers back in India and witnessing the inspiring projects they conducted has ever since encouraged me to serve the community in a meaningful way! Hence, my involvement in recent years serving as President of my Interact high school club and now a part of the Rotaract leadership at VCU. I am so excited to lead our club this year, finding different opportunities for our members to make a positive impact on our community and across the world!
