Tell us about your life outside of the AGA

I live in Littleton, CO, and I enjoy exploring local food spots, hosting supper clubs featuring regional Indian cuisine, and spending time outdoors whenever possible. I was born and raised in India and moved to the U.S. a few years ago. I’ve worked across creative and marketing roles and love combining storytelling with strategy. When I'm not working, you'll likely find me cooking, journaling, or planning my next travel adventure.

I once ran a home-based food business and hosted pop-up dining events for over 40 people, cooking multiple-course meals from scratch! It taught me a lot about planning, creativity, and community.
