What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters collaboration, innovation, and impactful research in sustainability and energy policy.

I am a passionate researcher dedicated to exploring how participatory methods, spatial data, and governance models can drive community-led energy transitions and equitable land-use planning. My academic background includes a Master's in Environment, Development and Policy from the University of Sussex, where I conducted extensive research on food supply chains and their environmental impacts.

In my professional journey, I have worked as a freelance consultant, conducting socio-economic research on energy transition projects in rural India. My experience includes developing land allocation frameworks with local stakeholders and executing communication strategies for major conferences. I have successfully led climate and energy transition campaigns, utilizing my skills in stakeholder engagement and digital communication to shift public discourse on energy equity.
