I’m a theatre artist and writer focusing on writing and production for musical theatre, currently pursuing a Master’s in Creative Media and Technology with a specialization in Writing and Production for Musical Theatre. I’ve developed the first draft of an original musical and gained hands-on experience in concept development, storytelling, lyric writing, and industry pitching, working with Broadway professionals to bring ideas to life. Beyond creating, I mentor and facilitate theatre education across India and the United States, leading theatre workshops, teaching English and theatre studies, and coordinating performances and festivals. I’m eager to collaborate on new projects that blend performance, education, and community engagement, bringing energy, curiosity, and a collaborative spirit to every venture.
