She is a Criminal Justice graduate from Macquarie University and is passionate about reducing health inequities for all communities. Jivani was born with a congenital heart condition and has had three open heart surgeries since her first at 10 days old. Her most recent, at age 23, introduced her to The Baird Institute and Professor Bannon.

She is an advocate for heart health and uses her position as a patient to raise awareness in the community and continues to showcase how surgery has saved her life.
