I am a dedicated environmentalist presently employed at the Centre for Wildlife Studies, CWS - Bangalore. My prior experience includes working with the Word Wide Fund for Nature - India (WWF - India) where I gained invaluable insight into the vital aspects of the conservation sector.Before transitioning into the realm of environment and wildlife conservation/education, I had a successful career in the pharmaceutical sector spanning over four years. However, my passion for nature and the desire to work towards its preservation and biodiversity conservation motivated me to switch fields and pursue my long-term ambition.I hold a Graduate degree in Pharmacy, a Post Graduate degree in Public Administration (UGC NET qualified), and have completed my Post Graduate Diploma in Environmental Law and Policy from NLU, Delhi. I have also completed several courses designed for environmentalists and conservationists, including a certificate course in Environment and Ecology from NPTEL and IIT Madras and an Introduction to GIS course from WWF.I firmly believe in the significance of continuous learning and constantly upskilling myself in relevant areas. In addition to my professional pursuits, I am an experienced freelance writer with over three years of experience and more than thirty publications. I maintain a blog and enjoy spending my free time cooking, gardening, learning Spanish, reading and working out.
