As a firm believer in the idea of social development through knowledge sharing, I have contributed to multiple community development and content dissemination platforms over the course of my career in the technology, startup and travel sectors. I have been passionate about studying wildlife since childhood and always held a deep interest in herpetology. This passion of mine led me to gain more knowledge about nature and conservation and helped me make informal efforts in my hometown to spread word of the importance of conservation in daily life.

Currently, as a member of the Oceans and Coasts Programme, I'm working with the local community and administration in Lakshadweep to create a shared understanding of the socio-ecological system of the archipelago, and encourage a dialogue about climate resilience and in turn island habitability.
