I was born in India, grew up as a third-culture kid in Singapore, moved across three continents, and have finally settled in the Netherlands - a beautiful country where I can breathe, and where my only complaint is the schizophrenic (and often cantankerous) weather.

I recently discovered that I’m a gifted multipotentiate: someone who wants to know everything about everything, until curiosity gives way to the next fascination. I love music and books, I have attempted sewing, I love lifting heavy things, I drum sometimes,I paint, and have earned my third degree black belt in TaeKwon-Do. Multipotentiality is probably also the reason why I have a Masters and PhD in molecular biology, an MBA, and another PhD on the way in social sciences (organizational theory). I am mom to a teenager and married to a computer geek. I have worked in both corporate and academic environments. I am currently working to get the Associate Certified Coach accreditation from the International Coaching Federation. I’m deeply sensitive - I feel things intensely and notice subtleties others might miss. Because I know what it feels like to be othered, I care deeply about advancing equity and belonging for minority groups in society.

My life rests on two founding pillars: science and helping people. The Theta Initiative is my way of bringing them together, using scientific principles and lived experience to help others recognize that the answers to their biggest life questions already exist within them, and to build the bridge to living their best lives.

If this resonates, let’s have a conversation about how I can help you bridge insight into change, and create the version of life that feels most true to you.
