I am a researcher-extension specialist of agriculture and soil science. My research focuses on analyzing sustainable soil health practices and agricultural carbon management. My goal is to develop decision support tools for tracking soil carbon build-up from different practices of regenerative agriculture. I am also interested in the use of perennial & native vegetation in regenerative agriculture and  building up climate resilient food systems and farming communities, especially disadvantaged migrant farmers. My job is to make the access of regenerative agriculture tools and resources equitable for all grower communities, including the marginalized and BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color). I also strive to contribute towards increasing diversity and women enrollment in Science, Engineering, Technology and Math disciplines .I break out of the traditional academic box to translate agricultural research into action on ground among grower and extension community. I envision a world where farmers and growers are healthy, wealthy and 'soil health' wise!
