What I'm looking for

I seek a role that allows me to leverage my legal expertise in environmental law while contributing to meaningful research and community initiatives.

I am a dedicated legal professional with an LLM in International Environmental Law from the Central University of Punjab, where I achieved a commendable 68.8%. With five years of experience as an advocate and a year as a lecturer at Dogra Law College, I have honed my skills in legal research and advocacy. My commitment to environmental issues is evident through my contributions to the field, including a chapter on Islamic Environmental Law and a research paper on the Supreme Court's powers under Article 142.

Throughout my academic and professional journey, I have actively participated in various extracurricular activities, including serving as a Student Ambassador for Thomson Reuters and volunteering for global platforms like Chezuba. My involvement in the National Service Scheme and the Ek Bharat Shrestha Bharat club reflects my dedication to community service and social responsibility. I have also received multiple certificates of appreciation for my contributions to legal forums and environmental initiatives.

My passion for research is matched by my interests in jurisprudence and international law. I believe in the power of hard work and the importance of giving back to society. In my free time, I enjoy reading, gardening, horse riding, and archery, which help me maintain a balanced and fulfilling life.
