Meet Our Volunteers
Anjali Shekhar
Business Partnerships & Outreach
Anjali is obsessed with board games and loves to travel. Back in India, she worked with underprivileged kids for 1.5 years and she understands how important is education for the kids. This experience realized her that no matter what the circumstances, Children can and will work hard if they know that someone in their life is supporting them. Before joining Minds Beyond Measure, Anjali was working in the Travel Industry as a sales executive. She loves to use her past work experience for helping underprivileged kids in developing countries as well.
"It often feels good to contribute to projects and organizations that mean something to you and Minds Beyond Measure is the right place for that. It is fun coming to work with happy people who love where they work and I see smiles everywhere I turn. Minds Beyond Measure pushes me to my fullest potential. I have a lot more confidence in myself since I've been working here. I enjoy doing Business Partnerships & Outreach role for Minds Beyond Measure because partnership increases your knowledge, expertise, and resources available to make better products and reach a greater audience. The right business partnership will always help the organisation to grow."
Victoria is a goal-oriented person that loves to read in her free time, and enjoys playing sports and spending time with her family. In 2019, she had the opportunity to visit Nigeria with her family. It was her first exposure to the conditions of life that underprivileged children go through in a developing nation. This led her to research the conditions that children who grow up in developing nations experience. Her research opened her eyes to the fact that there are even areas in the United States, where conditions of living are sadly similar to what exists in developing countries.
​
"Minds Beyond Measure provides me with the perfect platform to help in my own little way of shining a light on and helping find solutions to the challenges experienced by children in developing nations such as The Philippines and in inner cities such as New York City. Grant writing has been a very satisfying experience because it includes the three things I love most - research, writing, and helping others. Working with Minds Beyond Measure has been very fulfilling, as I have been given the opportunity to both grow as a person and learn more about the world."
