Bharat grew up in Troy, Michigan, and is currently a sophomore at the University of Michigan hoping to major in Public Health or Public Policy. Bharat first became interested in health policy after taking an introductory Public Health class, which opened his eyes to the tangible impact that policies that increase the affordability and value of healthcare could potentially have. On campus, he is involved with Student Government, the Roosevelt Institute, and the Good Business Lab. He hopes to spend his time at ACE both strengthening his understanding of current healthcare initiatives and making that information more accessible to anyone that may be interested. In his free time, Bharat loves watching movies, reading, and hanging out with his friends.
