Short Bio: A former journalist, education consultant, beauty editor and social media marketing professional, I've worn many hats and learned a lot about the world along the way. A Bombay native, I started to write as a young girl in boarding school in the beautiful backdrops of the Palani Hills in South India. I continued to pursue writing as a journalism and communications student at the University of Massachusetts. I also attended the University of Westminster, where I also got to pursue my passion for languages, studying Arabic Literature and Modern Global Politics in the Middle East.
What do you like to write? I like to write about displacement, grief, and immigration and usually use the lens of comedy to dissect these experiences. I mainly write historical comedies, slice-of-life and coming of age stories.
Logline #1: An epidemiologist fights an unforgiving pandemic of VD in 1940's Newark by conducting sex education workshops for women.
Name three movies or TV shows that inspire you: The Lunchbox, The Namesake, Derry Girls
