About
Hi, I'm Anjali.
Pronounced un-juh-lee
I'm a health and worker wellbeing psychologist passionate about tackling two of the most preventable epidemics of our time: chronic disease and loneliness.
My research has taken me from the United States to Malawi, India, and Finland. I've examined how work can be designed to foster connection among frontline workers and designed a behavior change intervention for historically undervalued workers in the US, collaborated on cancer prevention research among parents in the US and women in Malawi, investigated job stress among call center employees in India, and, in Finland, studied how culture and workplaces shape loneliness and connection. Across every setting, this much is clear: health is built in the places where we live, work, and spend time together, and together, we can make positive change.
I founded Health2Wellbeing to close the gap between what research tells us and what organizations actually do. Today I help leaders and organizations across sectors build cultures of connection and care.
