Purpose-driven student passionate about inclusive development and digital equity.
What I'm looking for
I am a purpose-driven student at Hindu College, University of Delhi, with a multidisciplinary outlook and a deep interest in inclusive development, digital equity, and global policy transformation. My academic and leadership experiences, ranging from editorial curation to data-based research, have shaped a well-rounded perspective rooted in collaboration, detail-orientation, and systemic thinking.
As the Editor-in-Chief of 'SUBAH' Magazine, I led a cross-functional team to amplify marginalized voices and foster discourse on critical social issues. My commitment to community engagement is evident through my roles in the Women’s Development Cell and various internships, where I focused on gender sensitization and mental health awareness. I thrive in collaborative environments and am dedicated to using my skills to create a positive impact.
