About Me

    sample text
sample text


I am a graduate student in the Sociology Program at the City University of New York. I have a wide set of academic interests, which include: theories of race and racism, migration and political economy, theories of the state/governance, medical sociology, and social movements. My dissertation is going to look at anti-domestic violence work in immigrant communities in the United States to look at how some of these issues are connected.


This is my first year as an ITF at the Macaulay Honors College. Prior to this job, I taught as an adjunct in the Sociology department at Queens College. Before I started graduate school, I had a number of jobs including: advocate at a shelter for women who had experienced domestic violence, administrative assistant at a modern dance company, barista at an independent coffee shop, editorial assistant for home and gardening magazines, college counselor for high school students, and executive director for a community-based organization that works to end violence against South Asian women.

I grew up in Sunnyside and went to P.S. 150Q, P.S. 122Q and Hunter College High School. After a 5-year stint in Saint Paul/Minneapolis, Minnesota, followed by almost 10 years in Brooklyn, I moved back to Sunnyside last fall. I am loving being back on the 7 train as well as living just a handful of train stops away from my new nephew, Kiran (pictured, above).
