Women’s Web is saying Goodbye! Please make sure you read this important notification.
I'm currently a communications specialist in the corporate world, and mom to a teen and a tween. My previous career avatars had me freelancing as a content writer, teaching biotechnology in Bangalore colleges, being published in various compilations, being active with a Bangalore adoptive parents support group, and a volunteer with the American Red Cross and an Atlanta school library. I have written on Women’s Web and my personal blog, on parenting, adoption, feminism. I'm keenly interested in diversity and inclusion in the Indian workforce. I’ve also escaped with refugee experiences twice from Saddam Hussein and am a returned immigrant thrice over (from Iraq, Kuwait and the US).
