New Leadership Needed for Our Community
Surekha COLLUR
Dr. Surekha Collur is a long-time resident of Holmdel who has run a thriving business, Bayshore Ophthalmology, for the past 20 years while raising her two sons with her husband, Uday.
Surekha’s surgical experience spans three continents and three decades: an MD degree from AAIMS India, an FRCS from the U.K., and an Ophthalmology residency and Glaucoma fellowship from SUNY Downstate and Tufts. She has business and leadership experience from running her own medical practice as well as training ophthalmology residents at SUNY Downstate as an Assistant Professor.
As a long-time resident, after her kids left for college, Surekha dedicated her time to Holmdel. She is currently a member of the Holmdel Green Team and the Holmdel Zoning Board, where she brings her problem-solving approach to issues affecting the township. She loves to travel and often enjoys down time with a good book.
Education, in particular, is close to Surekha’s heart, since she has personally experienced how it can change not only individual careers but improve communities. She believes education can develop a child’s innate interest about the world they live in. The right balance of STEM, the arts, and athletics can provide the tools for children to succeed.
Surekha will bring her organizational skills, attention to detail, and outcome-based plans in helping Holmdel Board of Education have the vision to equip our children with the best tools to succeed.
