What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role at the intersection of education, social impact, and analytics—where I can design data-driven programs, collaborate with stakeholders, and build toward product/impact leadership.

I’m an education impact fellow and founder who blends classroom practice with measurable outcomes. In my Teach for India role, I implemented targeted pedagogical strategies and worksheets, helping Grade 4 and 5 students scoring above 60% rise from 19% to 70%, while reducing high-risk students from 31% to none.

I build momentum through strong stakeholder partnerships and student-led initiatives. I designed long-term plans, improved attendance by 50%, and strengthened student confidence, communication, and critical thinking—while implementing social emotional learning strategies to boost behavior management and participation.

Alongside teaching, I founded an art-based initiative that empowers students to advocate for social causes. I designed the curriculum and workshops, partnered with seven organizations, and fundraised ₹22,000 for “Be the Change Project,” scaling impact through mentorship and entrepreneurship pitching.
