What I'm looking for

I'm looking to contribute to wildlife conservation and biodiversity research through field surveys, ecological assessments, data analysis, mapping, and community engagement.

I've contributed to WWF-India's Mangrove Coalition Project through species documentation, water-quality data collection, QGIS mapping for Thane Creek, and community-supported biodiversity surveys.

My research spans captive sloth bear welfare at the Wildlife Institute of India, insect and wildlife monitoring with the M.P. Forest Department and TINSA Ecological Foundation, and floral and faunal assessments with the Mussoorie Forest Division. I use behavioural sampling, camera traps, transects, scientific reporting, and field-based education to support conservation planning.
