She currently serves on the Board of Directors for the National Network of Abortion Funds, as well as on the Grantmaking Advisory Council of the Abortion Bridge Collaborative Fund, a project of the Women Donors Network. Poonam earned her Masters in Public Health and Masters in Social Welfare from UC Berkeley. A Bay Area transplant, she was born and raised in New Jersey within a vibrant and loving community of Indian immigrants. She currently makes her home in Oakland with her partner, two daughters, and two cats. When not chasing after her energetic brood, she loves knitting while binge-watching tv, yoga, sharing delicious meals with loved ones, and exploring the hiking trails near her home.
