I identify as: She/her, East coaster, proud nerd, mother, daughter of Indian Immigrants, middle sister, physician, plantrician, empath and contraception crusader.

I dedicate my time at the Tubman Center for Health and Freedom to: My mother, who in the 1980s was the first female Indian physician to take care of HIV+ patients in Newark, NJ - tirelessly and without judgement.  She dedicated her entire career to conquering the AIDS epidemic and dispelling myths and stereotypes about the Queer community.  I hope to continue her mission and fight the power.
