One of my passions is working for public institutions to solve national or global challenges. My career has evolved from US politics and the legislative process to international development finance and asset management. At the World Bank, I work within a global program dedicated to delivering asset management and advisory services to public asset managers, known as RAMP. Improving public asset management ultimately increases the resilience of countries. Our team helps central banks respond to economic shocks, sovereign wealth funds protect intergenerational wealth, and public pension funds ensure future payments. As a former senior congressional staff member, I helped build coalitions for legislation and appropriations amendments that promoted affordable housing, good government, transgender equality, fair tech, and social justice for Sikh and AAPI communities. I also continue to study how to improve the political process in the United States. As a non-resident Network Fellow for the Edmond J. Safra Center for Ethics at Harvard University, I designed an original congressional ethics project to promote integrity in public service. At Yale, I served as a John Kerry Fellow and developed a research project on examining asset management by federal political action committees. At Georgetown, I launched Raise Voices Not Dollars® Super PAC, the first non-partisan super PAC to call attention to the nation's disclosure laws 40 years after Watergate.As a leader, I aspire to demonstrate collective leadership and cease to be impressed by a lasting change made through coalitions.
