Director of Admissions · Educator · Connector

I'm Navi.
I connect people
who change lives.

I grew up between two worlds — Bilga, Punjab and California — and learned early that when the right people find each other, extraordinary things happen for kids.

Today I serve as Director of Admissions at Fusion Academy Walnut Creek while building something bigger: a national network of education professionals, therapists, and advocates united by one belief — every family deserves the right connection.

I consult with families coast to coast, host community events, and am developing a coaching program for neurodiverse youth focused on real-world social and functional skills.
