For Do The Change's third episode of the season, we are joined by a guest with a truly exceptional story: Sangeeta "San" Agarawal, RN, MS, CAS. San's journey starts off in a very traditional part of India where education was something she had to fight for. Driven by a thirst for knowledge and passion to help others, she enjoyed a successful career in both the tech and nursing fields, creating a tech company and later working as a registered nurse.
