I am a Ph.D. student in the Department of Political Science and a Research Associate at the Center for the Politics of Development at the University of California, Berkeley. I focus on gender and politics in South Asia, political economy of development, and the information environment. My dissertation explores the political ambition of women in India. I am also a Data Science Fellow with the D-Lab at UC, Berkeley.

I have worked as a researcher for the Partnership on Countering Influence Operations at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. I hold a B.A. in Politics and minors in South Asian Studies, Political Economy, and Quantitative and Analytical Political Science from Princeton University and an M.A. in Political Science from the University of California, Berkeley.
