What I'm looking for

I seek entry-level roles in research, heritage, or project coordination within impact-driven organizations where I can lead outreach, grow program management skills, and apply field research and community engagement experience.

I am a BA (Hons.) History student with a strong academic record, scoring 772/800 on the CUET and earning 100 percentiles in History and Political Science.

As a Research Intern at the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, I contributed to a meta-database of 695 heritage tourism sites across Uttar Pradesh, Odisha, Gujarat, and Telangana, conducted field research in Old Delhi, and co-prepared state-specific tourism reports with policy recommendations.

I currently lead the Sanitary Smiles Project as Project Coordinator, managing a team of 10+ interns, delivering menstrual-health workshops, supporting fundraising and community engagement, and serving in multiple logistics and hospitality leadership roles at my college; I bring strengths in documentation, teamwork, workshop facilitation, and stakeholder coordination.
