About Me

Thanks for visiting!
I grew up in New Delhi, India, one of four sisters and many cousins in a family of avid readers. For most of my life I have lived in the Boston area where I've been a bookseller, systems analyst, TEDx organizer, PTO Mom, animal foster and more--but through it all writing has remained my first love.

I write for children and teens, from fiction to educational and curriculum-based writing for young readers. My writing is often shaped by family, culture, humor, and the many ways stories help us understand ourselves and one another, and make sense of the world.
