Who is Tanuja?
My name is Tanuja Gurunath, and I am currently pursuing MBBS at Far Eastern Federal University (FEFU), Russia. My academic journey is strongly oriented toward clinical sciences, public health, communicable diseases, global health, and mental health advocacy, areas that deeply interest me and shape my long-term professional goals.
Alongside my medical education, I am actively involved in academic research, public speaking, and community engagement. I am proud to be an international co-author of the book “Global Mental Health in BRICS Countries” (2025), which reflects my interest in mental health on a global scale. I have also presented a poster at the Global Youth Summit 2025 and participated in several international conferences, including the Latin Medical Conference, Russian Conference, and History of Russia Conference, which have broadened my global and academic perspective.
I have experience as a district-level speaker under NYKS, where I delivered awareness talks on communicable diseases and public health. Additionally, I have worked as a mental health educator, guiding 10th-grade students on managing stress, mental well-being, and exam anxiety. At the university level, I have contributed to health awareness projects at FEFU, focusing on communicable disease education.
Leadership, communication, and social responsibility are integral to my personality. I actively mentor and support peers through volunteer guidance programs, especially focusing on emotional well-being. I also take pride in representing my university as a cricket player for the FEFU team, having won an inter-university match in 2024, which has strengthened my teamwork and discipline.
