About

Ever since I was a kid, I’ve been equally drawn to tech and creativity - and the biggest challenge growing up was figuring out how to build a life that blends both.

👩🏻‍💻 Today, I’m a Product Strategist at a tech startup in San Francisco and a content creator sharing insights on tech, career growth, and personal branding with a community of 85,000+ people.

⭐️ As a creator, I’ve collaborated with brands like Anthropic, Notion, Duolingo and Miro, and was part of the LinkedIn Creator Accelerator Program. My work has been featured multiple times on LinkedIn News, Creator Pages, and in several newspapers.

🎓 I hold a Master’s in Engineering Management from Cornell University. I’ve built newsroom tools for The Washington Post and developed AI-powered job search tools at Wonsulting as a Product Manager.

🌱 I’ve always been a builder at heart. At 20, I developed a patented 'Mood-based Lighting System'—a project that combined facial recognition with emotion-sensing technology to personalize lighting based on how you feel.

🥇 Along the way, I’ve received multiple Women in Tech scholarships, including the Anita B. Org GHC Scholar (’21 & ’23) and the D.E. Shaw India Ascend Fellowship.

Now, I’m focused on both—building products and building communities.
