What I'm looking for

I seek a role that values research and communication, fostering social impact and professional growth.

As a dedicated Research Coordinator at Passion Infotech, I leverage my extensive experience in research and communications to drive impactful projects. With a career spanning over two decades, I have collaborated with various organizations, including Save the Children and TetraTech Agroforestry, to deliver high-quality research and content solutions.

My academic background includes dual Master’s degrees in Journalism and Economics from The Ohio State University and Gokhale Institute of Politics and Economics, respectively. This educational foundation, combined with my professional roles as an Associate Editor at IEEE and a Research Officer at FRCH, has equipped me with the skills to excel in research design, data analysis, and effective communication.

Passionate about knowledge management and advocacy, I have authored numerous articles and research papers on critical topics such as health, gender empowerment, and education. I am committed to using my expertise to contribute to meaningful projects that promote social change and community development.
