Today, Rashmi is known throughout Brevard County as a gracious volunteer with a big heart and as a person always willing to help.

Her projects and loves reach far and wide from the Scott Center for Autism to the Doctor’s Goodwill Foundation.

She knows that hard work and dedication can get you what you want in the world, sometimes, if you are lucky. And Rashmi’s hardwork paid off.

But when success arrives, Rashmi also believes that it’s her responsibility to give back to those in need. And the list of those in need that she and her husband have helped is substantial.

Rashmi is perhaps best known for her work with IndiaFest making it one of the premier events of the county celebrating India culture including its music, food and dance.

When it comes to helping others, it would be hard to find a family that works as hard as the Shah’s.
