About
Hi there!
​
I'm Surya, a social anthropologist, qualitative UX researcher, recreational boxer, and full-time cat mom.
A little bit about me.
Before pursuing qualitative user research, I obtained my MSc in Social Anthropology from the London School of Economics and Political Science and my MA in Global Thought from Columbia University. At both universities, my studies focused on the technology space. I am currently based in New York City but rarely turn down an opportunity to travel!
​​
Due to my double master's, I've spent quite a bit of time in academia. During that time, I collected a range of experiences from participating in a workshop on trust and AI, interviewing professors for my undergraduate university's academic technology services blog as a guest blogger, and completing (and winning 😉) a boxing match.
​
Outside of work, you can find me on a stroll around the city listening to a good podcast. Check out some of my favorites below!
