Project Coordinator, Education and Public Engagement

B.Tech.

I am from Madhya Pradesh and was formerly trained as an aerospace engineer. In 2011, I made a switch and have since been working as a nature educator, wildlife researcher, and wildlife artist. I am deeply interested in exploring the different ways people connect with nature and how these insights can be used to strengthen children's connection to the natural world. I use nature art as a powerful tool to foster these connections, sparking curiosity and a deeper understanding of the environment. My work focuses on creating meaningful, lasting relationships between people, especially children, and the natural world around them. At EPE, I focus on coordinating, strengthening, and expanding the Young Birder’s Network.
