What I'm looking for

I’m seeking an Assistant Professor role where I can contribute to teaching, curriculum development, and research in criminology and forensic psychology, particularly in child protection and community-based welfare initiatives.

At CWC-6 (Child Welfare Committee – 6, Delhi), I support child protection matters, case documentation, inquiry processes, and formal reports. I engage with children in vulnerable situations using trauma-informed and age-sensitive communication.

My research has explored social anxiety, language, and communication among children with autism spectrum syndrome, as well as missing children in India. I’m pursuing an M.A. in Criminology with a specialization in Forensic Psychology at National Forensic Sciences University, Delhi, and am seeking an Assistant Professor role in criminology or forensic psychology.
