About me

I’m a graduate of Emerson College, where I studied Media Arts Production and Sports Communication. My work spans across narrative filmmaking, sports broadcasting and performance, shaped by a deep commitment to civic engagement and advocacy. As a first-generation Indian American, I hope to tell stories that explore culture and identity, with a special focus on the South Asian diaspora and other underrepresented voices, while creating meaningful impact and fostering lasting connection.

From a young age, I’ve had a knack for creativity and was constantly finding new ways to express myself. In elementary school, I gained an affinity for oil painting. Inspired by Vincent Van Gogh and other painters of the Impressionist movement, I took lessons at the Sippy Cup Place in Quincy and made more than 20 paintings over the next 5 years, taking on canvases big and small - some even bigger than myself. I’ve also tried my hand at clay, creating a sculpture depicting my recovery from anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) surgery as my high school senior thesis project.
