Varsha Kaushal received her Ph.D. in Biochemistry from University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio. She has pursued medical research at UAMS and taught undergraduates at Hendrix College as a biology professor. She has been active with the learning and teaching activities of the Vedant society and in an Interfaith book club that explores diverse spiritual and cultural practices.

Due to a recent life changing event, I have been seeking avenues to meaningfully contribute to society, and I believe the Hindu Chaplaincy Pathway will serve as an ideal program in fulfilling my mission of learning and serving the community. I am thankful to the Motwani Jadeja Foundation for their generous support in this endeavor.
