I serve as the Managing Editor of India Currents. I attended Northeastern University in Boston and graduated with a B.S. in Biology and Environmental Science. After working in academic science, I began to confront the oppression of women and minorities in higher education. This led to my pursuit of a Master’s degree in Anthropology from Harvard University to better understand culture-specific interventions to help marginalized communities. Before joining India Currents, I was a Public Ally Fellow. As a Public Ally, I worked on the effects of gentrification in East Palo Alto through journalism at EPA Today. I am passionate about diversifying spaces, preserving culture, and removing barriers to equity. I have found that community media and journalism are the perfect blend of anthropology and advocacy. I am excited to be a part of the India Currents’ legacy – elevating South Asians voices for more than 30 years.
