Nursing School Graduate | West Hartford, CT Ishprit Kaur was born in New Delhi, India in 1989. Following the 1984 anti-Sikh pogroms, her father came to the United States and then brought over the rest of the family. In 1995, Ishprit’s father was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease.

Inspired by her mother’s commitment to service as a nurse and the care her father received, Ishprit decided to pursue nursing, and she recently graduated from St. Vincent's College. Aside from her work as a nurse, Ishprit is a self-proclaimed pizza connoisseur, fitness enthusiast, dog lover and fashionista. Upon Ishprit’s request, a friend tied a breathtaking turban on her almost a decade ago.

Ishprit immediately felt empowered, regal and blessed. Since then, Ishprit ties her turban every day to remind herself to stay true to the Sikh way of life.
