Leena Mittal
I have lived in Brookline since 2005, when I moved here to begin residency in psychiatry, and my husband Seth and I have lived here together since 2006. We are parents to two boys in 5th and 8th grade at Runkle. Our family has been active playing
and coaching many sports in Brookline such as baseball, hockey and lacrosse, over the years, though we are now focusing on lacrosse (town and club) and ski racing in
Vermont.
At Runkle, I have served as a Room Parent for many years and have worked with other parents to start a group called Runkle Organizing Against Racism (ROAR) which is a parent led group working to move forward antiracist principles and supports families of color in our school community.
Professionally, I am a reproductive psychiatrist, specializing in mental health needs for
women. I spent the majority of my career in academia, primarily at Brigham and
Women’s Hospital, though now have a small private practice here in Brookline.
