PhD Student

Harvard Kennedy School

I am a second year PhD student in Public Policy (Economics Track) at the Harvard Kennedy School, and a PhD Scholar at the Stone Program in Wealth Distribution, Inequality & Social Policy. I am currently building a research agenda on social norms and gender inequality across developing countries.

I was previously working as India Director at Development Data Lab. At DDL, I co-authored studies spanning in-group judicial bias in India, upward mobility in South Asia, excess mortality during Covid-19 and implications of cultural distance on economic opportunity.

When not trying to make sense of the world through data, I can be found cooking up a storm, painting, or on long (slow) runs with my husband.
