What I'm looking for

I'm looking to contribute climate change litigation and research skills to an organization committed to positive environmental impact, particularly across climate policy, sustainable finance, ESG, environmental governance, and resource protection.

At Living Landscapes, I develop policy research, training manuals, and governance guidance that support sustainable management of land, water, and forest resources through Panchayats and community-level actors.

I've also advanced air-quality governance at Clean Air Asia India, compared regulatory systems across South Asia for the Regulatory Institute, and supported environmental litigation at Legal Initiative for Forest and Environment. With an LLM in Environmental Law from Stockholm University and postgraduate ESG training, I bring research and legal analysis to climate policy, sustainable finance, and environmental protection.
