What I'm looking for

I seek a role that allows me to empower youth and enhance educational practices, fostering a supportive community.

I am a dedicated social worker with a Master's in Social Work from Sant Gadge Baba Amravati University. My passion lies in supporting children and young adults, particularly in academic settings. I focus on helping students from underprivileged backgrounds navigate their challenges, ensuring they have the resources and support they need to thrive.

Throughout my career, I have honed my skills in program coordination and educational support. At Sampark Foundation, I lead the implementation of the FLN program, collaborating with government teachers and stakeholders to enhance digital literacy and improve teaching methodologies. My previous roles at Magic Bus India Foundation and Eklavya Foundation have further solidified my commitment to empowering educators and fostering a positive learning environment.
