I'm a PhD candidate in English at the University of Pennsylvania specializing in postcolonial studies and the Global Anglophone, Asian diasporic studies, and the twentieth-century and contemporary novel. I am also pursuing a graduate certificate in gender and sexuality studies.

From 2021 to 2023, I convened Latitudes, Penn English's working group on empire, race, and the Global South. I have also taught or assisted courses on the postcolonial and Global Anglophone novel; British literature from Windrush to Brexit; race, immigration and diaspora; South Asian and Caribbean fiction; law and literature; and the history of the book. I was named the 2021-22 John Lewis Haney Graduate Fellow in English.

Before graduate school, I worked at independent and scholarly presses and digital archives including Columbia University Press, Boston Review, and the South Asian American Digital Archive. I hold a B.A. in English from St. Xavier's College, Mumbai, and an M.A. in English from Villanova University.
