Jerome Mascarenhas
Community Physician at Seabreeze Clinic
Goa, India
About
He lives close to the sea, grows herbs in the backyard, and is happiest when a house is full of visiting friends and cousins. Jerome is reflective without becoming solemn, and his classmates still know him as someone who notices when others need checking in on.
Career Journey
Jerome returned to Goa after years in Mumbai hospitals and built a neighborhood medical practice known for careful listening and old-fashioned continuity of care. He has also worked on rural health camps and continues to mentor younger doctors beginning careers outside big-city institutions.
School Memories
He remembers the ordinary sweetness of school life more than any grand event: assembly lines, lunch breaks, exam anxiety, and the easy trust of boys growing up together. Those memories still feel like home.
Message to the Batch
Let's not wait for another milestone before meeting again. I'd rather this reunion become the start of a more regular habit of friendship.
