Aaheli was born in India, raised in Singapore, and moved to the U.K. to study at Imperial College London in 2015. After graduating with an MEng in Chemical Engineering, she worked as a management consultant at Boston Consulting Group’s London office for five years, largely with public and third sector clients (a particular career highlight being supporting the U.K. government's COVID-19 response). She hopes to use her time at Princeton to explore the intersection of climate change and global health, with a focus on racial justice. Outside of academics, she loves acting, singing, dancing, and baking, and has developed a newfound interest in Muay Thai after a recent month-long bootcamp in Koh Samui.
