Aditi is the Deputy Director at The Lenny Zakim Fund in Boston. Her background is in program design and management, social sector capacity-building, and communications. Aditi is passionate about advocacy, distribution of power, and grassroots level, community-centered healing and empowerment. She has built her career on a bedrock of cultivating and strengthening infrastructure in the social sector to better serve the diverse needs of our communities. 

Aditi graduated from Northeastern University in May 2022, with her Masters in Public Administration.

Aditi currently serves on the Board of Trustees at Esperanza Academy in Lawrence, MA, and on the Board of Directors at the Boston Alliance for LGBTQ+ Youth (BAGLY). As a queer person of color, having access to a supportive community of peers and adults was and continues to be vital to Aditi’s journey and growth. Aditi is thrilled to serve on the Board at BAGLY and contribute to supporting today’s queer youth, particularly given the climate we live in.
