My logo connects my heritage to my purpose.

Pink horizons remind me to stay inspired and hopeful—to take a bold vision and build it authentically. The logo design draws from Punjabi phulkari and dhurrie patterns, incorporating a motif from a dhurrie my Nani Ji hand wove from cotton she grew and dyed. Four generations of feet have rested on the rug.

Her craftsmanship embodies one of my core values: authenticity. I believe that those who do the work with their own hands—those closest to the ground—carry the knowledge to craft solutions with lasting impact.

Over 20 years ago, with the support of an Echoing Green fellowship, I co-founded an international human rights nonprofit that changed the narrative on crimes against humanity in India, documenting over 5,300 disappearances and unlawful killings perpetrated by the police.

As a nonprofit leader, operations specialist, and lawyer with 25 years on the frontlines of human rights and civil rights advocacy, I have developed systems and strategies that transform and strengthen organizations. I bring a deeply personalized approach to every project—from documenting mass state crimes and supporting legal prosecutions, to producing an award-winning documentary, to advocating for LGBTQ+ youth. I have built an organization from the ground up and co-directed it for 20 years, helped mid-stage nonprofits establish stability and momentum, and developed systems and funding to strengthen the impact of volunteer-run organizations.

I received my B.A. from Yale and J.D. from Harvard Law School, and am a product of New Jersey public schools.
