We're pleased to introduce Preetam, one of our amazing graduate student interns! He's a diligent quick study with a growth mindset and an absolute pleasure to work with.

A picture of Preetam with the text "meet preetam, Graduate intern, California health benefits review program" A description of Preetam's professional background. He's a medical student at UCB/UCSF joint medical program, a former ESL and art teacher, he's designed clinical programs in medicaid and conducted a summary of the literature analyzing cost sharing, utilization, and income for CHBRP. He loves the fast-paced, hyper-collabative workflow at CHBRP Fun facts about Preetam, including how he would love to have lunch with Issa Rae from Insecure because she fights to make things happen in her community. His go to coffee order is a cortado or lavender latte if he's feeling fancy. A fun fact is that he used to work in a nitrogen ice cream shop and has tried all flavors under the sun. His CHBRP energy is "chaos coordinator." A quote he lives by is "let your boldest dreams shape your reality."
