My research interests lie at the intersection of biology and economics, and I am particularly focused on using economics to solve healthcare issues. I am conducting research in health economics under Dr. Jalpa Doshi at the Center for Health Incentives and Behavioral Economics (CHIBE), where I evaluate access barriers to oral anti-cancer medication for Chronic Myeloid Leukemia. In the past, I have conducted independent Drosophila research with the TRIP lab, where I investigated the effects of alumni compounds on fruit fly fertility. The following year, I served as a teaching assistant in the TRIP program, helping other students with their fruit fly research. Alongside my research, I’m a part of Penn Masti, a South Asian fusion dance team, the Daily Pennsylvanian’s Strategy & Promotions team, the Wharton Women MBA Mentorship Committee, and Wharton’s Agriculture Business Club.
