I’m an award-winning author, professor, and actor with degrees in business, engineering, and pharmacy.
I’ve lived in three countries and worked in diverse fields. These experiences taught me how to make changes for lasting growth.
I write this blog to show you how you can change your life, too.
My book, The Art of Good Enough, received the 2020 Readers’ Favorite International Book Award, silver medal.
My writings and interviews have been featured on PBS, Thrive Global, Working Mother magazine, Parentology, and The Times of India.
