At XLRI Jamshedpur, I support research and Fellow Program operations through coordination, records, and preparation of reports and data summaries. I also assist with seminars, review meetings, and thesis-related processes.

At Vaagdhara, I conducted a cross-unit M&E audit comparing program Gantt charts with MIS data, identifying gaps in indicator ownership and data infrastructure. I also authored a KRA-based analysis of household survey data from 771 families to inform program and policy review.

My work has included designing a bilingual field questionnaire at Dhriiti - The Courage Within and supporting community research across gender and development programs. I hold an MA in Gender Studies from Dr. B.R. Ambedkar University, Delhi.
