Dr. Malavika Ghosh
Malavika has been an active member in the Bengali community for several decades. A lifelong prabasi herself, having been raised outside of Bengal, she can relate to the importance of having a community where the essence of one’s language, culture and tradition can be realized through the process of socialization and active participation and service provided by organizations like Bay Area Prabasi. She came to the US in the early 90’s as a doctoral student and moved to the Bay Area in 1997. Ever since then, she has been an involved member of Bay Area Prabasi.
Her main goal as a member of the leadership team in Bay Area Prabasi is working towards the exposure and inclusion of the next generation to the activities of this organization. Also as a career scientist in Biotech, she would like to utilize her knowledge and experience into bringing awareness towards the present pandemic caused by Sars-Cov2 and start a community outreach program specially for the seniors.
She has two grown children and lives in Los Gatos with her husband.
