What I'm looking for

I’m seeking to use my expertise in literary studies and writing practices to inspire students of literature and foster critical thinking and social conscience.

At EFL University, I translated Jibananda Das’s Ruposhi Bangla into English as part of my master’s thesis, alongside research interests in translation ethics, Mad Studies, and Comparative Literature.

From November 2021 to January 2022, I worked as an English Writing Skills Facilitator, facilitating students at Hillnagar Sugadhpanth, a Jesuit prenovitiate. As an MA student at EFL University, I also taught multiple short-term courses.

In 2020, I developed a syllabus and study materials to support English language skills acquisition for underprivileged children with GRACEHUT foundation. In 2022, I wrote and published news articles for Karmactive.

I published Untitled: A Collision of Verses in 2022 and Remnants in 2023. I’m seeking to use my literary studies and writing practice to inspire students of literature and foster social conscience.
