Our team

Gaurab Bhowmick

Co-Founder, President

Gaurab is a first-generation American who co-founded Journey ATL due to the academic hardships he faced during his time at university. As someone who immigrated to the U.S. at the age of nine, he has first-hand experience with the challenges of adapting to a new culture, education system, and job market. He hopes to share his learnings and insights with students and professionals to help them avoid the same obstacles.

Chloe Hamby

Co-Founder, Director of Outreach & Programming

As a former first-generation college student, Chloe was inspired to co-found Journey ATL to help others who are struggling or have struggled to attend college due to a lack of resources and awareness. She hopes to use her experiences of navigating the academic and professional world as someone raised in a low-income household to guide and prepare others wanting to follow similar paths.

Vijay Wadhwani

Co-Founder, Director of Strategy & Operations

Vijay co-founded Journey ATL due to his experience as a first-generation college student and second-generation American searching for the right career path. His goal is to provide others with the support they need to overcome the same barriers he faced and have a sense of clarity and confidence as they embark upon their academic and professional journeys.

Advait Apte

Board Member

As a 2024 D.O. Candidate at the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine – Georgia and first-generation American, Advait believes that everyone has the potential for greatness, but not everyone has the resources to fully bring out that potential. He is so glad to be a part of Journey ATL to help oversee and provide resources and career counseling to underserved communities in Atlanta.

Alexandra Caldwell

Board Member

As the daughter of an immigrant, Alexandra has always appreciated the breadth of academic and professional opportunities offered in the United States. However, she has also realized that these opportunities are not provided equally to everyone. As a board member of Journey ATL, Alexandra is both excited and honored to have the opportunity to bring more awareness and resources to those embarking on their academic and professional journeys

Francesca Sierra

Board Member

As a first-generation American who was raised in a developing country, Francesca has always appreciated the opportunities and quality education that are offered in the U.S. She believes it’s important to make sure resources are equally accessible to everyone. As a board member of Journey ATL, Francesca is looking forward to ensuring that underserved communities, especially those within the Latin American community, are provided the tools necessary for professional and academic success.
