I received my dual BS degrees in Computer Science and Psychology at the University of Minnesota - Twin Cities. I then began my dual Doctoral Program in Cognitive Science and Computer Science at Indiana University but decided to graduate with a Masters degree in Informatics to pursue my passion in Behavioral Health Informatics. I am a Board Certified Behavior Analyst and licensed as a Behavior Analyst.
I have worked with children with autism, ADHD and related disorders for the past 12 years. I work to make pediatric behavioral health interventions more efficient and accessible to families using technology. I am also very passionate about research and work in machine learning, artificial intelligence, ABA-based educational interventions, and bioinformatics.
Serving as a mentor and figure skating coach at India's first National Preparatory Camp for the Special Olympics in 2013 is one of my favorite moments. I led the Indian delegation to win multiple gold, silver, and bronze medals at the Winter Special Olympics in South Korea in 2013. Watching the children grow and achieve their dreams has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life.

I believe every child can thrive when we match the right supports to their unique strengths. I believe children are not defined by their challenges – they are defined by their unique strengths, perspectives, and capacity to grow. My work centers on creating environments where children feel understood, supported, and empowered to learn in ways that honor who they are. Through compassionate, evidence-based care and the intelligent use of technology, I strive to bridge the gap between science and humanity—helping every child move closer to independence, confidence, and joy in their daily lives. I believe that health informatics is the future of efficient and accessible care as it unites science, education, and child-centered design to deliver equitable, practical supports that help children build skills, confidence, and independence.
