I am an ‘05 alum of Bard College and currently serve as a member of the Board of Governors and chair of the alumni/ae Diversity Committee. I am a 2012 Lambda Literary Non-Fiction Fellow. I have written about my same-sex multi-ethnic marriage, becoming a mom as a gay woman,  motherhood, the prison system, and having a special needs child. In 2018, I appeared on a CBC podcast called Out in the Open.

I live in New England with my Sri Lankan-American wife, our three children, and our two puppies, Evelyn and Oliver. Lucky, pictured here, our Australian Terrier, passed away in 2020. I work full-time as the Vice President of Operations and Programs at a New York City based heart health nonprofit.
