I am a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the Center for Philosophy, Politics, and Economics (PPE) at Brown University. I was received my Ph.D. from the Charles H. Dyson School of Applied Economics and Management at Cornell University in 2024. 

As an Applied Microeconomist, I study topics at the intersection of Labor, Gender and Development; specifically the effects of women's financial inclusion on their empowerment. Another body of my research focuses on weather shocks and Development. I test the political and gender implications of extreme weather events in India and Sub-Saharan Africa, respectively. 

Before starting my Ph.D., I worked with the International Food Policy Research Institute in New Delhi (India) as a Research Analyst. I completed my Master's in Development Studies at the Tata Institute of Social Sciences, Mumbai in 2016 and received a Bachelor's degree in Economics from the University of Delhi (Lady Shri Ram College for Women) in 2014. 

I am in the 2025-26 job market.
