CURRENT MISSION

"Don't ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive." - Howard Thurman

ABOUT ME

I have my B.A. and M.A. in psychology from Boston University. Instead of going to med school, I moved to New York City and worked in event and entertainment production for four years - primarily as a Producer, but then in 2009, I also doubled as an Agent. I was an Aug '09 Indicorps fellow - my project was based in Karnataka with an NGO called Vidya Poshak - I worked with the Graduate Finishing School, a corporate training center helping rural, economically disadvantaged youth become employable. Now, I'm on Indicorps staff for the year, and have plans to go to business school in the near future. Interests include traveling (backpacking and hostels are preferred), hiking, arts/entertainment...goals this year include running Mumbai half marathon in January and learning to cook.

PHILOSOPHY

Laugh, love and have fun!
