With a Bachelor of Science degree in Zoology, I have a comprehensive understanding of animal biology, behavior, and ecology. My academic journey has equipped me with a solid foundation in the principles of zoology, including evolutionary biology, environmental science, and animal physiology. I am passionate about wildlife conservation and the study of animal interactions within their ecosystems.
My studies have involved hands-on laboratory work, field research, and data analysis, which have honed my skills in scientific inquiry and critical thinking. I am adept at using various research methodologies to explore biological phenomena and contribute to meaningful scientific discussions.
As a proactive learner and dedicated researcher, I am keen to apply my knowledge and skills to real-world challenges in zoology and conservation. I am particularly interested in opportunities that allow me to contribute to wildlife preservation, environmental education, and further research in the field
I have a doctorate in wildlife sciences and forestry. My specialization has always been landscape and community ecology and I focussed on the guild of carnivores to understand the same in my PhD. I invested in ornithology to overcome stress and am very vocal about walking in the jungle in the company of birds for good mental health. Currently, I am handling a few projects under the PSP portfolio where I am looking into safeguards for linear infrastructure and also for the conservation of small cats. I love writing especially about nature, interdisciplinary connections of the same, and policy to practice.
