I work where disciplines, cultures, and ways of knowing collide.

Abandoned as an infant in Kathmandu and adopted at two years old, I grew up moving across continents, cultures, languages, and radically different ways of understanding the world. My mother gave me an extraordinary childhood full of joy, travel, adventure, and curiosity, creating the conditions for me to experience the world with openness rather than limitation. Long before I had language for it, my life was already teaching me to think in systems.

That origin now sits at the center of my work. I move between neuroscience, psychedelic research, Indigenous knowledge systems, ethics, medicine, legislation, education, and institution building, with a particular interest in how these systems intersect, shape one another, and operate across cultures and borders.

At 16, I was admitted to Johns Hopkins University, where I now study neuroscience at 18. My long-term path is intentionally interdisciplinary: I plan to pursue an MD, JD, PhD, and MBA, ultimately training as a neurosurgeon while building fluency across medicine, law, research, and institutional leadership so I can work on complex systems from every level.

I have learned in laboratories and clinical settings, through fieldwork and traditional healing systems, alongside rural communities, and through relationships built across cultures. My work is ultimately an extension of the same question that has followed me throughout my life:

What becomes possible when different systems of knowledge, healing, science, culture, and governance learn to exist in reciprocal relationship with one another?
