Two things I thought I couldn't do: to sing & to introduce myself.
But my life has been about turning 'cannot' into 'done'. So, here's my attempt at the latter.
I like to try out something that is new to me once in a while, be it a famous dish or an artform. I am a trained Bharatanatyam dancer with a diploma and have recently started learning the oldest martial art, Kalaripayattu. I have a master's in English and Cultural Studies, a PGD in Writings from India and a PGC in Dance/Movement Therapy (DMT).
I was a part of the UNESCO World Heritage Volunteers 2025 in Ahmedabad. I participated at Y20, the Youth Engagement Group of G20 in Johannesburg, South Africa, 2025.
Employee of the Month
At present, as a Programmes Coordinator at the Museum of Art and Photography, I conceptualise and coordinate events of different scales. It ranges from programming around exhibitions including panels and workshops to the events which highlights the relevance of the museum's collections. Out of passion, I provide guided walks of exhibitions bilingually. I was recognised as the Employee of the Month in April 2025. I am currently pursuing an International Diploma on Language Policies for Multilingualism from the University of Antioquia (UdeA) and the UNESCO Chair in Language Policies for Multilingualism.
DDG Commendation
I am a Project Consultant at Creative Movement Therapy Association of India. Frequently I volunteer at an NGO that focuses on an autochthonous folk art, Chittara from Karnataka. I am a Member of the Board of Studies (Mount Carmel College), a member of YOUNGO - the official youth constituency of UNFCCC and a Member of the International Organisation of Folk Art. I have led dance teams, headed various committees, served as a Senior Under Officer in the National Cadet Corps, performed plays and mimes, and cleared UGC NET (English).
Best Researcher Award
As for my writing journey, I have five publications (both fiction and academic), which include an anthology I edited and contributed to, a few research articles and a poetry compilation. I presented my research findings at national and international conferences, securing the Best Researcher Award 2023-2024 at my alma mater.
Alumnus of the Year
I took a masterclass on how research can help one beyond academia to my juniors alongside sharing my experience in clearing UGC NET (English) in the first attempt. Additionally, the support I provided them as former Theatre Club Head fetched me the Alumnus of the Year 2024-25.
Special Recognition Award
I love working on multidisciplinary projects involving Folklore, Performing Arts, Psychology, Pedagogy, Ethnochoreology and Cultural Studies! I seek to connect pedagogy and praxis reckoning my background in Cultural Studies and Dance/Movement Therapy. I envision transforming theories of the classroom into events of society.
Through diverse projects and hands-on experience, I've refined my skills in content creation, event management, administrative support, grant writing, website designing, documentation, and more.
