What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can apply policy research and stakeholder engagement to design equitable social-sector programs, with opportunities for mentoring and impact-driven growth.

I am a policy-focused professional with academic and practical experience in public sector management, regulatory policy, and institutional reform. I bring strong research, reporting, and stakeholder engagement skills, and I am passionate about creating equitable and efficient policy solutions in education, health, and social welfare.

My academic background includes a BA in Political Science (Ravenshaw University) and an MA in Public Administration and Policy Studies (Central University of Kerala), complemented by research projects such as a dissertation on socio-economic and cultural upliftment of the Santal tribes and a critical study on NATO.

I have contributed to community initiatives as a volunteer with the Robin Hood Army and held student leadership roles, demonstrating my commitment to applied policy work, effective communication, and collaborative problem solving.
