About Me   About Me
Devaki hails from New York City by way of New Delhi, Algiers, Kabul, Kuala Lumpur, Beijing, and Islamabad. Through the course of her nomadic life and numerous conversations with local experts - taxi drivers, health workers, shopkeepers, mothers, and children- her interests are firmly lodged at the intersection of human rights and international health.

As an undergraduate at Mount Holyoke College, she evaluated program delivery of maternity benefits within the Self Employed Women‚s Association (SEWA) in Gujarat, India under the auspices of the International Labor Organization Strategies and Tools Against Social Exclusion and Poverty (ILO-STEP).

In 2009, Devaki finished her PhD at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health where she was able to participate in a strategic review of the impact of HIV/AIDS intervention strategies in the developing world, assist in the monitoring of a UNICEF adolescent life skills project in Bangladesh, and conduct Fulbright-supported research on the role of media exposure in framing youth attitudes around HIV/AIDS, and HIV/AIDS-related stigma and adherence to antiretroviral therapy in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.

Currently, as a postdoc, Devaki is interested in better understanding and developing evaluation frameworks for cultural responses to HIV/AIDS in international settings, particularly the role of NGOs, religious and educational institutions.
