I am a journalist covering Asian Americans for NBC News. I've spent the last three years focusing heavily on the South Asian American diaspora and the issues that affect them. I write about immigration and visas, politics, pop culture, Hindu nationalism and Islamophobia. I've reported pieces asking big questions — including what it means to be Asian American and who is really included under that umbrella.
