About me

I am currently a Ph.D. student in Health Policy with a focus on economics at the University of California, Berkeley. My research interests are in maternal and child health, global health, and applied microeconomics.

The focus of my ongoing work is understanding the dynamics of health decision-making within multigenerational households, where decisions are predominantly collective. I study the effect of social norms, intergenerational and spousal bargaining, and the targeting and delivery of information on health behaviors, particularly in the context of maternal and child health.

I have worked on research projects in South Asia and Africa, and conducted fieldwork in multiple states in India and Uganda. Prior to attending graduate school, I was employed at the Stanford Center for Health Education and J-PAL South Asia.
