Hi! I’m Shilpa. I’m a freelance beauty and lifestyle writer.

I’m also also the founder of Glowreel: a media startup dedicated to celebrating achievements and amplifying the stories of BIPOC women.

I have a background in public policy, with a focus on social policy reforms. I have significant experience in writing, research, editing and managing/leading teams.

I graduated with First Class Honours in International Relations and Political Science at Victoria University of Wellington.

When I’m not researching stories for Glowreel or writing, you’ll find me chilling with a strong cappuccino or a rosé in hand - depending on the time of day!
