A BIT ABOUT ME
Hi there! My name is Akshay Kamath and I am a recent graduate of the Honors College of Rutgers University - New Brunswick with 2+ years of healthcare consulting & storytelling experience. While many of my passions come from this quantitative interest in analyzing outcomes, more of them stem from engaging with my vibrant communities of North Brunswick and New Brunswick, NJ as a vehicle for my drive to give back. I unwaveringly believe that, in order to effect true change, we must first listen and then speak for those who may not have a voice.
I thought a website would be the ideal platform for introducing myself, my work, and my inspirations. Since I’ve always appreciated a wide variety of life experiences, this site includes a little bit of everything.
I’d love to hear your feedback or thoughts, so please don’t hesitate to get in touch!

THE POWER OF STORYTELLING
In developing a venture from ideation to execution, I struggled to find the right resources to develop an effective pitch for our work. After my team and I were able to earn $100K+ in non-dilutive funding, I wrote Make It Matter to develop the resource I wish I had in the hopes of simplifying this process for budding entrepreneurs.
