I am a Visiting Assistant Professor in the Economics department at Colgate University. Previously, I was a

Postdoctoral Research Associate at Brown University. I received my Ph.D. from the Charles H. Dyson School of Applied Economics and Management at Cornell University. 

As an Applied Microeconomist, I study topics at the intersection of Labor, Gender and Development such as labor force participation, financial inclusion and intrahousehold agency. Another body of my research focuses on weather shocks and Development where 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.
