What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to leverage my storytelling skills and contribute to innovative content strategies in a collaborative environment.

I am an experienced writer, editor, and researcher with a strong background in journalism, creative writing, and AI content training. Currently, I am pursuing a PhD in Creative Writing and Postcolonial Studies, where I specialize in narrative innovation and linguistic experimentation. My passion lies in storytelling and enhancing AI-generated language models, and I am dedicated to amplifying marginalized voices through my work.

Throughout my career, I have honed my skills in journalistic reporting, magazine and website editing, and fact-checking. I have worked as a freelance journalist and political analyst since 2012, and have held editorial positions at various publications, including India Gazette London and India Today. My expertise includes managing editorial submissions, refining articles, and ensuring alignment with the editorial vision, all while maintaining brand consistency.

In addition to my editorial experience, I have received several prestigious awards, including the Hammond Trust UK academic funding and the Centre for Science and Environment Media Fellowship. My work has been recognized for its depth and rigor, particularly in investigative journalism and cultural analysis. I am committed to producing engaging, well-researched content across multiple formats and continuously strive to improve the fluency and logical consistency of AI-generated responses.
