ABOUT MONSOON WRITINGS
The name of my blog is inspired by my name, Keya – a monsoon flower originating from India. Each season holds experiences for us to endure which allow us to change and grow. Alike to a flower, we all endure the experience of our own monsoon season in order to appreciate the beauty in blooming.
Sharing significant pieces of my journey inspires me to become a better person and guides me to pursue the goals that my younger self always dreamt of achieving. It is a gift to have my voice heard, and I look forward to creating more pieces that will touch more people in this world.
EDUCATION
I graduated with highest honors from Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology (with honors) and Cognitive Science. I currently support Rutgers students with autism and/or attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder diagnoses as the Assistant Program Coordinator for the College Support Program at the Rutgers Center for Adult Autism Services.
My lived experience with an autistic sibling has provided me with an insightful perspective and care for my clients, as well as an increasing passion to continue mentoring those who help serve this community. With interests primarily lying in promoting the overall quality of life and mental health of autistic adults, my career aspirations in academia are committed to the advancement of understanding and support for neurodivergent individuals and their families across the lifespan.
MORE ABOUT ME
Apart from writing, you can find me with a book alongside a cup of coffee at home or a local shop. Growing up as a dancer, I have had the privilege to step foot onto the dance floor again and tap for the past two years. I enjoy riding my motorcycle and exploring new places during the warmer months. I love listening to music from the 80s to the early 2000s, and playing my saxophone to my favorite tunes.
