I grew up in Northern Virginia and am the proud daughter of immigrants from Bangalore, India. From my family’s experiences navigating the healthcare system, my north star was clear - to address health disparities impacting underserved populations.

I attended Harvard College, where I studied biomedical engineering and leveraged technology as a tool to tackle health disparities through projects such as a virtual reality platform to increase access to behavioral therapy for autistic adolescents. After graduating, I pursued a Fulbright Scholarship in Goa, India, where I worked with rural schools on supporting the health and educational success of children with autism and learning disabilities.

I then returned to Boston for the MD/MBA program at Harvard Medical School and Harvard Business School, where I continued to explore the systems-level changes needed to meaningfully improve care for patents with complex medical and social needs. I served as the Managing Editor for Healthcare: The Journal of Delivery Science and Innovation, founded the COVID-19 Health Literacy Project (now the Community Health Literacy Project) to create and translate COVID-19 information into 40+ languages, and co-founded Reentry Care to improve access to care for individuals leaving incarceration and reentering their communities.

Now, I am currently an internal medicine resident physician in the Primary Care Program at Massachusetts General Hospital. In addition to my clinical training, I also work on operations and business development for SCAN Embrace, an innovative program to bring mobile primary care to residents of senior living communities.

I am most proud of my work as founder and CEO of ProjectCSGIRLS, an international nonprofit dedicated to encouraging middle school girls in computer science. From 2013-2023, the organization reached over 15,000 girls in 12 countries.
