Neha Pai, a 2024 UCLA Bioengineering graduate, joins us this evening from Los Angeles, California to share her powerful story of resilience and possibility. Neha suffered a ruptured brain aneurysm in December of 2021. Neha’s journey from life-saving surgery, physical and mental rehab after weeks in a coma, to finishing her bioengineering degree were underscored by seven simple words of her neurosurgeon - “She’s going to make a full recovery.” Neha will share her belief in the power of words, and why she is using her voice to raise awareness of this devastating disease to shed light on the many faces of brain aneurysms.
