I am a Post-doctoral Fellow at Boston University Global Development Policy Center. I am part of the Program on Women’s Empowerment Research of the Human Capital Initiative, directed by Mahesh Karra.

I am an applied microeconomist working on the determinants and implications of gender norms and gender-based violence. My research interests lie at the intersection of Economic History, Development Economics, Political Economy and Health Economics.

I am working on i) coercive programs and their impact on violence ii) female entrepreneurship and gender norms, iii) contraceptive concordance and access to contraception and iv) menstrual hygiene v) education and gender norms.
