Today we’d like to introduce you to Chandni Pal
Hi Chandni , please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
As a passionate Integrative Medicine PA, I’ve always been driven by my desire to help others achieve holistic wellbeing. But what many people may not know is that I have a creative side that’s equally passionate about fashion, music, dance, and Bollywood.
My creative journey began in 2014-2015 when I started working as a Radio Jockey at one of the South Asian radio stations here in Houston. For about four years, I had the opportunity to connect with listeners, share my love for music, and entertain audiences. This experience not only helped me develop my communication skills but also gave me the confidence to emcee events and participate in the Mrs. Bollywood beauty pageant in 2017.
Life took a pause with the arrival of my two kids and the pandemic, but my creative spark remained alive. When I decided to re-enter the creative field, I started modeling, which opened doors to advertising opportunities with various brands, restaurants, and businesses. This marked the beginning of my influencer journey.
Today, as a part-time influencer, I’m grateful to have the flexibility to prioritize my family and full-time job while still pursuing projects that resonate with me.
As a discerning influencer, I selectively partner with projects that align with my unique style and taste.
Recent collaborations include (just to name a few):
– Partnering with topmost local vendors and styling and showcasing exquisite designs by renowned couturiers Sabyasachi Mukherjee, Falguni and Shane Peacock, Masaba Gupta, and SVA Couture.
– Featured on SVA’s official page, a dream come true, with the designer personally endorsing my style.
Notable partnerships:
– Big food brands: Vadilal
– Local and international restaurants
– Bridal and fashion expos: Bridal Extravaganza
Event highlights:
– Directed a fashion show at a popular Diwali Event in Houston, organized by a South Asian Radio Station.
– Judged a Beauty Pageant and Talent show in Dallas, Texas, organized by Gargi Productions.
These experiences have not only expanded my portfolio but also deepened my connections within the fashion and lifestyle industries.
My journey has taught me that with passion, hard work, and dedication, it’s possible to balance multiple pursuits and live a fulfilling life!
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
Has it been a smooth road?
Absolutely not! As with any journey, there have been ups and downs. However, I’ve always believed that challenges and setbacks are opportunities for growth and learning.
One of the biggest struggles I’ve faced is societal pressure and breaking stereotypes. As a woman, a mother, and a professional, I’ve often found myself navigating multiple roles and expectations. Juggling my responsibilities at home and outside has required careful prioritization and time management.
Despite these challenges, my family has been my rock, providing unwavering support and encouragement. They’ve allowed me to pursue my passions and interests, even when they’ve taken me outside my comfort zone.
When faced with obstacles, I’ve learned to take a step back, reflect, and approach the situation with a fresh mindset. This mindset shift has helped me stay focused, motivated, and committed to my goals.
In the end, it’s this resilience and determination that have enabled me to turn my dreams into reality.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
As a board-certified Physician Assistant, I have the privilege of working at the nation’s top-ranked cancer hospital, MD Anderson Cancer Center. My specialty lies in Integrative Medicine, which combines conventional Western medicine with evidence-based complementary therapies to promote holistic healing and wellness.
What sets me apart is my unique role as one of the few Advanced Practice Providers in the nation specializing in Integrative Oncology. I’m passionate about delivering patient-centered care that addresses the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of my patients.
I’m most proud of being part of a renowned institution that allows me to make a meaningful impact on patients’ lives. My work enables me to empower patients with knowledge, support, and holistic approaches to wellness, and that’s incredibly fulfilling.
Can you talk to us a bit about happiness and what makes you happy?
Being present with my loved ones, watching my children grow, and sharing laughter with my family is where I find my greatest joy – it’s the simplest, yet most profound, source of happiness in my life.
