Meet the Founder
My Story
I grew up in the vibrant metropolis of New York City, where the pulse of life beats alongside a tapestry of diverse communities and abundant public transportation options. Growing up, I observed a glaring disparity in transportation access that left certain communities underserved – those who couldn't rely on public transit or lacked the means to drive faced significant challenges.
My journey took an unexpected turn when I enlisted in the military at the age of 18, dedicating eight years to serving my country. Following my military service, I pursued a Bachelor's degree in Biochemistry & Molecular Biology, driven by a profound passion for healthcare and medicine. With each step of my academic journey, my commitment to addressing healthcare disparities deepened. Although initially drawn to a career in medicine, life led me down a different path, where I found myself increasingly focused on the social determinants of health, particularly transportation access for specialized populations. Social determinants of health refer to the conditions in which people are born, grow, live, work, and age, and the wider set of forces and systems shaping the conditions of daily life. Social determinants of health play a significant role in influencing individuals' health outcomes and overall well-being, often impacting health disparities and inequities across different populations. Addressing social determinants of health is crucial for achieving health equity and improving overall population health.
This passion culminated in the inception of Auridan Collaborative, where we cater to provide transportation solutions for communities most vulnerable to social determinants. Whether it's ensuring non-emergency medical transportation for patients in need or addressing the unique mobility challenges of specialized populations, our mission remains rooted in rectifying these disparities, one passenger, one patient at a time.
Who We Are
What matters most with any service?
...the passengers ...
We seamlessly cater to "you" based on individual needs through a holistic approach. This vision ensures pliability in not only what we do, but the outcome in the quality of our drivers and services. We strive to go beyond the extra mile to ensure you a seamless journey with us from personalized booking to the completion of transport.
With Auridan Collaborative, we aim to provide a high level of service and attentive care to each passenger. Our assistance serves to minimize segregation in transportation for those with disabilities, specialized populations, transportation-disadvantaged communities, special needs, and senior citizens to expand access to community transportation options. Being able to adapt and be accommodating to the needs of a passenger in various situations will enhance the transport experience for our passengers. Our drivers are trained to recognize various disabilities, and trained to communicate effectively with persons who have vision, hearing, or speech impairments. Having a patient and compassionate team enables us to humbly accommodate you or your loved one for your transport needs.
Our commitment to the well-being of our passengers extends beyond reliable transportation; we prioritize your comfort and safety throughout the journey. Our Non-Emergency Medical Transportation accommodations are designed with your needs in mind, going beyond the standard offerings.

Additionally, we provide access to N-95 masks to ensure respiratory protection, and non-latex gloves for added safety and sensitivity. These accommodations are integral to our dedication to providing a secure and comfortable environment for individuals requiring medical transportation, ensuring that every aspect of the journey is tailored to your health and peace of mind.
Our premier transport service offers accommodations for companions. This is a Provision for companions or caregivers to accompany passengers during the journey, ensuring additional support when needed. We implement accommodating flexible scheduling to meet the varied needs of passengers, including early morning or late-night appointments. Passengers have enhanced Curtained Privacy in some of our vehicles. With this feature, vehicles are equipped with screens for added privacy, particularly for passengers who may need assistance with personal care.
We hope to improve the coordination of unique transportation services to minimize barriers to traveling to medical appointments, community programs, and much more.
