Where are you from and what program are you pursuing?
I'm from Mumbai, India, and I'm in the M.A. Arts & Culture program.
What inspired you to attend Columbia Journalism School?
I've been a journalist for 13 years, working as both a writer and editor, with my most recent stint being the Copy Director at Vogue India. I decided to attend Columbia Journalism School because I wanted to upskill, and nowhere else came close when I thought about where I could do that. The M.A. program has really pushed me to think in newer, deeper ways.
After the J-School, what would you like to do?
I hope to return to working in lifestyle media, armed with a deeper understanding of cultural reporting and arts criticism.
What is your favorite activity/location in NYC so far?
I love long walks in Central Park, bar-hopping on the weekends, and scouting for the best steaks across the city.
