In my professional journey, academia, community service, art and cultural activities are interwoven along with a fervent dedication to the upliftment of underprivileged women. I find my purpose illuminated in the delicate dance between knowledge and action. Beyond the confines of lecture halls and research laboratories, I am drawn into the practical experience and vibrant drapery of society, embracing the role of a catalyst for change.
Immersed in the realm of Life Sciences and Environmental Sciences, my academic roots burgeon into a commitment that extends beyond textbooks and scholarly pursuits. I navigate the corridors of communities, addressing the intricate intersections of environmental and health issues with an unwavering passion. It is amidst the humble abodes of the underprivileged that I lend my voice to the symphony of change, resonating with echoes of personal hygiene, household waste management, afforestation, and greening initiatives.
