About Me

I grew up in Northern Virginia and am the proud daughter of immigrants from Bangalore, India. Motivated by my own family’s experiences navigating the healthcare system, my north star has always been to advance health equity and increase access to care for underserved populations.

As an undergraduate at Harvard College, I studied biomedical engineering and leveraged technology to tackle health disparities through projects such as building a medical device to provide behavioral therapy to autistic adolescents. After graduating, I pursued a Fulbright Scholarship in India and researched the impact of stigma on autistic children in rural communities.

I then returned to Boston for the MD/MBA program at Harvard Medical School and Harvard Business School, where I focused on 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 and worked across operations, product, and clinical strategy as a Clinical Operations Manager for SCAN Embrace, a new medical group delivering on-site primary care for residents of senior living communities. During the pandemic, I founded the COVID-19 Health Literacy Project (now the Community Health Literacy Project) to create and translate COVID-19 information into 40+ languages.

I am currently an internal medicine resident physician at Massachusetts General Hospital and intend to pursue a career in hospital medicine and healthcare leadership. Alongside my work in healthcare, I care deeply about increasing access to STEM education and am most proud of my work as founder and CEO of ProjectCSGIRLS, an international nonprofit that empowered over 15,000 middle school girls in 12 countries from 2013-2023 to leverage technology to tackle social issues.
