Hi! I'm a public health specialist, multimedia health journalist, and writer focusing on global health, sexual and reproductive health, and refugee healthcare.

I started out as a journalist covering health and gender rights in India, and I kept bumping into the same thing: the communities I was writing about weren't just underserved by the media, they were underserved by the systems meant to protect them. So I moved into global health to work on that directly. I've spent the last decade designing programmes, building communications strategies, and measuring what actually works - mostly in SRH - with organisations like UNICEF and the IRC across Asia, the US, and India. The question that's motivated my work has stayed the same: How do we build systems that actually centre the people they claim to serve - and tell their stories honestly in the process?

I've led programs for UNICEF (field-deployed in Lao PDR), the International Rescue Committee's Airbel Impact Lab, and New York City Emergency Management, where I served as Deputy Director of the city's emergency response to the asylum seeker crisis. Before that, I was Assistant Editor for Health at The Quint, with bylines in the BBC and Vogue and content reaching over 1 million views. I also co-founded Pink List India, a nationally recognised archive of politicians with a positive track record on LGBTQI+ issues, covered by BBC, NDTV, Vogue, and The Wire.

I hold an MPH from Yale School of Public Health and an MA in Sociology and Politics from the University of Edinburgh. I'm currently based in Bangalore and available for global health program roles, consultancies, and commissions.
