Bio: As a PhD candidate in Hindu Studies and the Director of Marketing and Communications at the Graduate Theological Union, I work at the intersection of digital technology, religious practice, and public scholarship. My academic research explores how Hindu communities in the U.S. use digital media and marketing strategies to shape identity, expand influence, and build global spiritual networks.

Drawing from a strong foundation in ethnography, religious studies, and digital humanities, I bring a distinctive voice to the evolving conversation around religion and technology. My professional and scholarly work is driven by a commitment to inclusive storytelling, strategic communication, and deep cultural literacy. Whether analyzing an Instagram campaign by a global spiritual leader or helping a higher ed institution clarify its brand, I specialize in translating complex, values-driven narratives for broad and diverse audiences.

I am based in Lansing, Michigan.
