Heeral immigrated from India to the U.S. two years ago, with her twin boys, Vraj and Vansh, who are juniors in high school. The family lived briefly in Sacramento and in St. Louis, before permanently settling in Hoffman Estates. In India, Heeral served as the Principal Director of three private schools, where she says she developed her people skills. In addition, she worked for two years, selling life insurance. Most recently, she was a Patient Care Coordinator for America’s Eye & Glasses Optical in Chicago.
Heeral took advantage of the opportunity to immigrate, after she and her husband, Praful, agreed that they wanted their boys to be able to experience the educational system and the culture in the United States. Praful is still in India, running the family business, but hopes soon to be able to join the family in Chicago.
Heeral considers herself to be a very spiritual person, and Religion and God are very important to her. She enjoys watching and learning from motivational speakers, as well as watching movies, listening to music, reading, drawing, and painting.
