What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic role that fosters collaboration and innovation, offering opportunities for growth and impactful contributions.

I am a communications and research professional with over three years of experience in diverse roles, including project management and strategic communications. My journey has equipped me with the skills to produce high-quality written materials and manage complex projects effectively. Currently, I serve as a Communications & Outreach Associate at the Institute of Social and Policy Sciences (I-SAPS), where I conduct research and prepare impactful write-ups for significant projects like Oxfam’s REAP and USAID’s IGEA.

Previously, I worked as a Research Officer at the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), where I led the Indian Desk, conducting in-depth analyses of media narratives. My role involved providing strategic insights and managing operations to enhance efficiency. My academic background includes an M.Phil in Peace and Conflict Studies and an MSc in Sociology, both of which have enriched my understanding of social issues and research methodologies. I am passionate about leveraging my skills to contribute to meaningful projects that drive positive change.
