What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a TGT/PGT teaching role where I can teach with NCF-aligned, playway methods, use smart class tools, and support learning through videos, presentations, and thoughtfully edited content.

I am a postgraduate in English and Hindi with a postgraduate diploma in translation (English and Hindi). I have worked as a thesis writer, book editor, scientific journal copyeditor, translator, and as a content writer for school books, with a strong focus on making information easy to understand and apply.

In my recent roles, I copyedited STEM journals using deep knowledge of style guides like APA, MLA, and Chicago, and I also edited humanities and social sciences journals. I bring a careful, standards-driven approach to scientific and editorial work, and I’m comfortable improving documents with a personalized touch.

Alongside editorial and translation experience, I supported authoring school material using knowledge of NCF in pedagogy, including playway storytelling, exercises, life skills, and 21st century themes. I’m pursuing B.Ed and I enjoy lecturing, making videos and presentations for classroom learning, and planning improvements through teamwork.
