She joined Baykeeper in 2002, first serving as an Equal Justice Works fellow, then as program director and in-house attorney. In these roles, Sejal guided the organization’s advocacy to reduce industrial pollution, clean up legacy mercury contamination, prevent agricultural pesticide runoff in the Bay’s Central Valley tributaries, and stop sewage and oil spills throughout the Bay watershed.
Sejal became executive director in 2015. She is co-founder of Bay Area chapter of Environmental Professionals of Color.
