About

I am a researcher and project coordinator based in Tkaronto with professional experience in public, academic, nonprofit, and diplomatic settings. I enjoy projects that create generative exchanges by bringing together stakeholders from across borders, communities, and industries. My work across a number of sectors has given me the opportunity to coordinate such projects in diverse settings, connecting artists with audiences, and international conglomerates with local startups. 

My PhD at York University (ABD) explores how kathak and hindustani repertoires are haunted by the erasures and appropriations that have reshaped both art forms over the last century. I have choreographed and performed in kathak and dance-theatre works presented in Ottawa, Toronto, and Bangalore, including one Canada Council for the Art’s funded research-creation piece. My creative work explores themes of belonging and borders, community, and power through dance.
