Dr. Anya Kulkarni
I’m a health reporter currently working with Bright Times News, where I cover medical research and public health stories for general audiences. I focus on making complex health topics clear, accurate, and responsible for readers. My reporting includes medical developments, disease outbreaks, public health emergencies, and health policy. I have a background in life sciences and a Master of Public Health (MPH), which helps me approach health journalism with a strong, research-driven, and public-interest lens.
