Hi! I am a History Ph.D. student at Georgia State University. I am advised by Prof. Ghulam Nadri. My current research interest focuses on the environmental history of India, particularly the eastern coast of India.

In addition to conducting my research, I teach undergraduate courses in U.S. history and World history surveys (HIST 2110 and HIST 1112) at Georgia State University, where I independently design the course syllabi.

When not immersed in academic pursuits, you can find me reading books, drawing, and learning to code.
