Hi, my name is Manisha Kaura (she/her).  I'm awaiting rescue, return to higher education, the acquisition of linguistics intellectual property, and other legal actions.  I intend to earn degrees at elite schools and to pursue a career in documentary film and philanthropic foundation management.  I'm working on creating a number of media projects (see tab) that will be distributed worldwide for free soon on both YouTube and Vimeo @manishakaura.  My prior work experience includes founding a healthcare nonprofit at age 19 that I closed at age 29 where I wrote two skin cancer prevention children’s books, directed a documentary on indoor tanning bed usage, built a social group for rare disease patients, gave a private TEDx talk at age 23, founded a dermatology free clinic for marginalized patients, and helped patients access genetic testing.  I also worked as an award-winning high-end fashion designer and manufacturer, managing female seamstresses in different cities, producing several fashion shows on New York Fashion Week runways, dressing a celebrity in a couture gown photographed by Getty Images, and running a popular fashion podcast that distributed worldwide.  As well, I animated multiple videos for a linguistics company.  Finally, I founded two biotech companies, Kaura Therapeutics (a nonprofit) and Darling Therapeutics (a for profit company).  In my spare time, I love going to Broadway musicals, the theatre, and the opera, as well as listening to music, reading, dining out, and studying foreign languages.
