What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to leverage my communication skills in a mission-driven environment, fostering collaboration and promoting impactful initiatives.

I am a strategic communications specialist with over 10 years of experience in content creation, social media management, and public outreach. My passion lies in advancing sustainability, animal welfare, and mission-driven initiatives. I have successfully designed and executed digital campaigns, including the #SkillUpRiseUp initiative, promoting 21st-century skills and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) across diverse audiences.

Throughout my career, I have managed social media channels, achieving a 35% increase in engagement within three months. My role as a coordinator for Cognizance 2024 at IIT Roorkee allowed me to hone my event management skills, ensuring smooth operations and effective communication among teams. I thrive in high-pressure environments, utilizing my problem-solving abilities and resilience to achieve organizational goals.
