I'm a writer and journalist of Indian origin focused on the issues that lie at the intersection of gender and health. As a person living with chronic illness, my goal is to challenge and humanize narratives on health and wellness. Prior to freelancing full-time, I graduated from The University of Leeds and spent a decade working in communications and journalism. 

​

I led digital media engagement and communications efforts at Yahoo! India, Picsean Media, a digital publication company in Bangalore, Ashoka, an international non-profit headquartered in Washington D.C, and the Solutions Journalism Network. In 2017, I reported on gender and human rights as a Global Journalism Fellow at the Munk School of Journalism (The University of Toronto).

​

My reportage and essays have appeared in Catapult, the Guardian, Forbes, Entropy, Yes! and Folks magazine among others.

​

I currently live in Washington D.C and contribute to Invisible Illness, the largest mental health publication on Medium.com. I also blog frequently on Love and Words, a publication where I write essays focused on health and womanhood.
