What I'm looking for

I'm looking for full-time or part-time in-person or remote work in English-language education, corporate communication training, curriculum and content development, or content writing.

I've taught Communication Skills, Technical English, and professional communication at Techno India University and BIT Mesra, while contributing to curriculum revision, assessment design, NBA-SAR reporting, and NIRF coordination.

I currently write communications content for Ideas to Impact Foundation and deliver customised communication enhancement and accent training for professionals, including employees of Cognizant and Kotak Life. My work spans one-to-one coaching, group training, learner assessment, structured feedback, and remote delivery.

With a Ph.D. in English (Linguistics & ELT), I bring published research and academic writing experience to instructional content, course materials, and development-sector communications. I've also taught English and Linguistics internationally to Master's and Ph.D. students at Yesbud University.
