I currently serve on the boards of Catalyst Conversations, an art and science event series, and the Griffin Museum of Photography, a nonprofit organization dedicated to the art of photography.

Previously, I worked with the MIT Media Lab to produce exhibitions and events that highlight the tender connection between technology and activism. I helped organize the virtual Feminist Future(s) hackathon which addressed issues of reproductive justice, labor in the care economy, prison abolition and environmental justice, and curated its multimedia exhibition, “Between the Future and the Familiar”.

From my collaboration with the Lab I also produced “Between the Magic and the Machine”, a group exhibition which sought to challenge the social and political status quo of breastfeeding and chestfeeding parents at the Make the Breast Pump Not Suck hackathon and summit. As part of the show I designed with Eva Zasloff an immersive installation featuring 2 feet tall floating orbs of light -- actual breastmilk ‘globules’ reflecting light at 750x magnification -- which glowed like distant stars. Surrounded by soft fabrics and the lull of a baby sleep sound machine, Reflections evoked a deep space-inspired dreamscape drawn from the microbiological dynamic between parent and child.

Seeking to further explore the relationships between rest, receptivity, and revolution, I taught weekly classes in Restorative Yoga and Meditation at Majestic Yoga Studio. My practice sought to bring students in touch with the mystery and magic of their bodies through careful and sensitive awareness of the present moment. Hoping to facilitate an embodied cosmic and spiritual connection, I infused the classes with science-based meditations about Tantra, gravity, and the Earth's geodynamo.

As part of my art practice exploring deep space, my collaborator Rosa Weinberg and I conceptualized and built the Stethosuit: a wearable bodice and headpiece that synchronized the body's inner sounds with the cosmo's larger vibrations. The fuzzy gurgles of our digestive system blended with the fizzy pops of NASA satellites entering interstellar ionized space. By using transmuted audio of Voyager 2's escape from our solar system, the garment harmonized naturally occurring micro and macro rhythms across enormous timescales. It debuted on the catwalk at re:publica in Berlin and was installed at the MIT Media Lab as part of their space exploration event, Beyond the Cradle.

From my investigation of wearable technologies, I curated BODY POLITIC, an exhibition at OPEN in Boston, MA. Eleven artists deployed fictional garments to resist entrenched social power structures amid systemic oppression: scents, dresses, lipstick and a spacesuit depict alternately hopeful and bleak visions of a tech-enabled, "inclusive" future. Wanting to get closer to the source of ready-to-wear tech, I co-designed and led a winter term research module, “Wear But Why” with Dr. Beth Altringer that took Harvard students to New York City to conduct field work with fashion designers. Through behind-the-scenes site visits and interviews, we helped students form questions and research what qualities make a wearable tech product desirable or undesirable.

Previously, I was the Wheatland Curatorial Fellow in Harvard’s History of Science department with the Collection of Historical Scientific Instruments where I researched and developed the exhibit for 1944's Mark-1, what some consider the world's first computer. I contributed to a range of shows in the history of science, including a retrospective on the Rorschach ink blots; chatbots and the history of artificial intelligence; and science pedagogy during the Cold War. I also created a collection of experimental and ethnographic short videos documenting life at hackerspaces and the scientific method, and have shown work at the Somerville Film Fest and Tribeca Hacks.

During the mid-aughts tech boom I lived and worked in Bangalore, India where I was hired as one of the first American employees at Infosys Technologies. While living in Bangalore I crafted international marketing campaigns and organized an annual tech conference for Infosys's global clients. I was tasked to redesign Infosys's office dress code for its 20,000 employees at its Bangalore headquarters, balancing the values of conservative executives and young women engineers -- and Eastern and Western aesthetics. I was also an early advocate within the Blank Noise Project, a community founded in 2006 in Bangalore to end street sexual harassment through social media campaigns and non-violent street demonstrations. During that time Blank Noise launched an international, ongoing project, "I never ask for it", which counteracts the narrative that a woman's clothes can be justified as an invitation for sexual harassment.

I’m grateful to my many teachers, mentors, and guides over the last several decades from around the world. Most recently, I finished a Tantra Meditation Teacher Training Level 1 with Tracee Stanley, and an advanced Yoga and Mindfulness Training with Lindsay Gibson. Previously, I earned my master’s degree in the History of Science from Harvard University and my bachelor’s degree from Georgetown University.
