Beyond Academia

Classical Dance

I am a trained dancer in the classical indian dance form of Kuchiipudi. My dance journey began in 2003 in India under Shri Raja Reddy and Smt. Radha Reddy at the Natya Tarangini Dance Institute in New Delhi. I continued to learn from Smt. Manju Bhargavi in Bangalore until 2010. I love performing and have been a a part of numerous dance performances and festivals. I continue to pursue my love for dancing as part of Usiloquy Dance Designs based out of Philadelphia. You can catch me doing shows at various art venues and museums around the city.

The Great Outdoors

I love the outdoors. I enjoy anything deep in the woods or high up on moutains. I am an avid backpacker, a decent climber and an amateur mountaineer. Every chance I get, I run to the wilderness.
