What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to apply my scientific knowledge and creativity in a collaborative environment, focusing on research and development.

I am a dedicated MSc Biotechnology student with hands-on expertise in Agricultural Microbiology, Biochemistry, and Cell and Molecular Biology. My academic journey has equipped me with a solid foundation in microbial culture techniques, enzymatic assays, and the use of advanced laboratory instruments. I am passionate about blending science and design, which is reflected in my proficiency with design tools like Canva, Photoshop, and Figma.

During my research experience at ICAR-IARI, I gained valuable skills in microbial growth studies and enzymatic assays, contributing to my understanding of soil health and plant interactions. My internships have further enhanced my practical knowledge, particularly in cell and molecular biology, quality analysis in food industries, and medical microbiology. I thrive in collaborative environments and am committed to continuous learning and professional growth.
