I am an engineer and technologist by profession. Early in my career, I mostly found myself alone among men around the table in my industry. In 2008, I worked with the National Association of Broadcasters to create an internship program aimed at increasing BIPOC representation in technology in Media. In 2017, I co-founded an international mentorship program for women in Media. I served on the Diversity Equity and Inclusion Board at PBS. I am passionate about bridging the digital divide and equitable access to technology. I am also a founding member of DeQH (Desi lgbtQ+ Helpline), the first and only National service of its kind.
