Manjeet, a San Jose native, is a physician specializing in rheumatology. He sees a connection between his work with patients and his work for Green Foothills, because our environment influences our physical health.
Manjeet attributes his lifelong passion for the environment to his public school education. He began learning in elementary school about the environmental challenges that we face, and remembers reading about renewable energy and climate change in his sixth grade science book and wanting to help solve the climate crisis.
In an effort to better combat climate change, he stumbled on Green Foothills back in 2015. He carefully began reading about initiatives to help shape the landscape he calls home. He began encouraging members of his immigrant community to participate in bringing about positive change and was particularly proud to showcase Green Foothills’ posts on Measure B/Measure C in the June 2018 election. He participated in the Green Foothills Leadership Program, joined the Advisory Board, and then joined the Board of Directors in 2022.
He is a lifelong Golden State Warriors fan and enjoys trying different coffees and craft beers, exploring local wineries, doing HIIT workouts, and hiking in the Diablo Range and Santa Cruz Mountains.
