The wonders of the natural world, particularly its wildlife, have consistently captivated me. Through volunteering and engaging in diverse projects across various landscapes—ranging from studying Human-leopard interactions in Mumbai to researching Manta and Mobula rays on the east coast, as well as exploring sustainable agriculture at high altitudes—I've been continuously drawn to the intricate interactions between landscapes, wildlife, and human communities. My passion centers around fostering collaboration with local communities to ensure the conservation of both species and their habitats.
