I'm a documentary filmmaker and journalist. I'm passionate about having the source be the storyteller. Most recently, I was at Stanford University as a Knight Journalism Fellow working on developing tools for collaborative journalism.
Before going to Stanford, I worked as a video journalist for The New York Times. While at the Times, my passion was for telling stories through strong characters and accurate reporting.
I'm a believer in collaboration and building community and as president of the South Asian Journalist Association I've fostered programs that reflect those ideals.
