I am from Hyderabad, India. I did my Bachelors in Agriculture from Andhra Pradesh Agricultural University. I fell in love with fungi, bacteria and viruses which led me to pursue Masters in Plant Pathology at Oklahoma State University. After that I took a break to take care of my son whom you will see on our campus as a sophomore.

My dream job as an Assitant Plant Pathologist at RiceTec enriched my knowledge and expericience in Rice fungal, bacterial, viral diseases along with nematodes, mites as pests. During this journey we were blessed with another addition to our family and I couldn't do justice to motherhood and my love towards pathology. My love of science and kids guided me towards the path of teaching. 

I started teaching at HAIS 4yrs ago. I am blessed with the loving student population and support of the wonderful Adminstration and my grade level team here. I teach Pre-AP and AP Biology. 

The love of my life are my boys and plants, I earned the nick name of 'Crazy plant lady' :)) My conference periods are on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 12:30pm - 1:15pm.
