About me

I am an independent science writer & journalist based in Freiburg, Germany, and a recipient of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation's International Climate Protection Fellowship. 


I began my journalism career as a local health reporter in Mumbai, India, in 2012. Since then, I have lived and worked as a journalist in the U.S., South Asia, and now, Germany. 


My reporting focuses on  the public health impacts of climate change and the ongoing transformation of global energy systems. I specifically examine how India, as well as the EU and the U.S., are scaling up their renewable energy capacities while simultaneously struggling to transition away from fossil fuels. I am also interested in how the human brain functions and what factors influence our behaviour. 


My reporting has appeared in publications such as Atlas Obscura, UnDark, Devex, Popular Science, Inverse, Forbes, Medical News Today, and MIT Technology Review, among others. 


I hold an MA in Science Writing from Columbia University in the City of New York and was born and raised in Mumbai. 


I am available for commissions on climate change journalism, science content writing, fact-checking, and editing.
