QUEENS CHAMBER MEMBER NEWS SHREYA UPPAL Shreya Uppal only recently started working for the Chamber’s outreach team but said that she has found they share a common goal in helping others. “Even though I’ve only worked here for five or six months, it feels like I am doing something impactful,” Uppal said. “Going outside and doing outreach, you learn something new every day. Whether it’s technology or party planning. All the different kinds of things people do.” Working with the outreach team has given her a chance to go out and meet with different kinds of busi-
nesses from all different areas of the world. Immigrants, who much like herself, share a hard-working lifestyle with a similar goal of being successful in whatever they do. “It feels good to know we’re in this together,” Uppal said. “That’s what the Chamber has given me… I just hope to continue with a career where I am out and about helping any way I can.” Recently, she received her Bachelor of the Arts degree in Clinical Psych and Sociology from CUNY Hunter College. In the future, she hopes to continue her studies, pursuing either a Masters or Ph.D., and hopes to someday work with children.
