About Me

Canadian scholar living in Udaipur, Rajasthan, with my husband. We have a beautiful house in an area called Shikarbadi. I am currently doing my PhD in religious studies and I study Hindu women rituals in the domestic context. I also work as a researcher and a translator. I can speak English, French and Hindi.
