As an educator, I have taught undergraduate-level courses, music performance, South Asian languages, and yoga.

​

I served as instructor of record for the undergraduate courses "Introduction to World Music" and "Jazz Style and History" as a graduate teaching follow at the University of Pennsylvania.

​

My work as a writing mentor while at Grinnell College developed my passion for working one-on-one with students. I worked individually with students at Grinnell and at the nearby Newton Correctional Facility as a part of the Liberal Arts in Prison Program. 

​

I am ACTFL-certified as an advanced speaker of Hindi and Urdu, and have served as a translator for South Asian musicians and other presenters. I have also taught Hindi language to private clients. 

​

In the realm of music performance, I have taught drums and tabla, and given workshops on Indian music for American audiences. 

 

I am also a certified yoga instructor and Ayurvedic lifestyle coach, which you can read more about here.
