What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role that combines zoology research and teaching—where I can apply animal behavior/ecology skills, data analysis and fieldwork, and mentor students while contributing high-quality academic writing and experimentation.

I am a PhD candidate in Zoology with 3 years of JRF research experience and college-level teaching. I enjoy simplifying complex concepts, strengthening communication through content writing, and supporting personality development.

Under my Junior Research Fellowship, I conducted independent research in animal behavior and ecology for 3 years. I supported ongoing projects through data analysis, fieldwork, and academic writing, including my dissertation on the toxicity of heavy metals on fish.

As a Lecturer for Allied Sciences, I taught Bachelor’s and Master’s students and designed engaging lessons to foster participation and academic success. I also mentored students in personality development and academic skills, bringing a collaborative, student-centered approach to both teaching and research.
