I am passionate about telling stories across multiple platforms: whether it is of a food cart vendor whose business suffered because of the snow storm, or court interpreters helping the justice system in criminal courts across the city. Since I started in this field in 2008, I have spoken to hundreds of people about their hopes and dreams, and captured them in words, photographs and videos. They have taught me that every person has a story to tell. We just have to listen.
Born and raised in Mumbai, the entertainment capital of India, I began my journalistic career by writing about movie and television stars. The glamour world soon lost its shine and I switched focus to human interest stories: An all girls' school completed 150 years. A Navy sailor became the first Indian to circumnavigate the globe non-stop. The newly-opened government archive is a treasure trove for history buffs.
I love that my profession helps me get to know people I would never have met otherwise. They remind us that what we do matters. And it matters that we do it right.
