I am a master’s student in design engineering at Harvard and MIT. I am passionate about designing interventions to tackle unmet healthcare needs in developing countries.
I co-founded a healthcare innovation startup, dVerse Labs, and launched a certified device across hospitals in India before joining Harvard. I am interested in developing human-centered medical devices that improve patient outcomes.
In addition to my healthcare work, I have a passion for STEM and design education and enjoy mentoring students in creating impactful interventions. I also freelance as a children’s book illustrator and enjoy illustrating.
In my free time, you can find me trekking in the mountains, jogging, baking, playing my ukulele, illustrating children's books, or reading books.
