GIC Host, Ami Bavishi
Name: Ami Bavishi
Neighborhood: Jersey City, NJ

Alma Mater: Undergrad: Duquesne University, Graduate: George Washington University
Occupation: I work in business development for the life sciences sector for UK Trade & Investment, the international business development arm of the UK Government. We help US companies who want to expand to the UK and UK companies who are interested in coming to the US.
Why are you supporting GlamourGals? I love what GG is doing to bridge the gap between two very different generations. Teens already involved with GG are making dramatic impacts on the older populations around the country and I encourage more teens to join the cause.
What is your favourite senior moment? I used to volunteer at a senior center home during my sophomore year in high school-the friends that I made in the hospital had the most unbelievable stories. I have to stay that the best moment was any time we played games, bingo, especially. I know that everyone has a competitiveness in them-but some of the ladies that I played bingo with were determined to win-and it did not matter what they had to do to get there.
