She also loves to satirize traditional norms that discriminate against South Asian women and uses them as inspirations.
She hopes to achieve her MFA degree soon and her dream job is to work for the National Geographic channel. Other than studying and working part-time to pay bills, she loves animals and she enjoys cooking and listening to 60s and 70s rock music.
