A Bit About Me

I am an active leader in multiple student organizations and the student leader of the iGEM MIT MAHE 2024 team. Through these roles, I have worked at the intersection of science, strategy, and collaboration. Beyond leadership, I am an avid researcher, currently co-authoring a paper in the field of behavioral economics while also contributing to projects in healthcare and biotechnology. My work reflects a commitment to bridging disciplines, fostering innovation, and translating ideas into impact.
 

I founded The Framing Theory as a space to explore how narratives influence decision-making, whether in business, governance, or culture, and to share insights that bridge data with human context. This is the space where I connect with you, my dear readers.
 

In parallel, I launched Global South Archives to document and amplify the voices, histories, and innovations of the Global South, ensuring they take their place in global strategic conversations. This is an entirely project-oriented and collaborative venture, and I plan to feature articles, interviews, and surveys.
 

Through these platforms, I aim to connect analytical precision with meaningful storytelling, offering insights that matter to both the public and decision-makers alike. After all, it is a Thinkspace for that very reason!
