Research Discipline/Bio
I am a researcher, special educator, and 4th-year Ed.D student in curriculum and teaching from India. I am a research assistant for the Bilingual and Bicultural Education program and a writing fellow with the Graduate Writing Center. My research interests are bilingual special education and inclusive practices in secondary classrooms. I was a Zankel fellow for two years, providing math intervention at TCCS. I have taught over 12 inclusive education and special education courses at UW Madison. During my three-year tenure on the Student Senate, I served as the DEI committee chair and student senate president. My leadership was instrumental in driving significant institutional policy changes, including the increase in the minimum wage for student workers. As the senate president, I led advocacy efforts for introducing doctoral student profiles, providing free menstrual products, and TC’s divestment from the Israel-Gaza crisis. In my free time, I enjoy reading and exploring the city.
