About
A researcher working at the intersection of policy, diplomacy, and governance
Trained in political science and international relations, with practical exposure to multilateral secretariats, state institutions, and independent policy research.
Professional Overview
Evidence before assertion
Motivated International Relations and Political Science graduate focused on public policy, governance, diplomacy, and international development. Passionate about evidence-based policymaking, regional cooperation, and strategic affairs with practical experience in government institutions, regional organizations, and policy research. Founder of Vriksh Verse, an environmental initiative promoting sustainability and civic engagement.
My work is grounded in international relations and political science, and applied through public policy, governance, and international development. I am drawn to questions where regional cooperation and evidence-based policymaking meet the practical constraints of institutions — from electoral administration to climate and digital governance.
Across placements in government institutions, a regional secretariat, and policy research organisations, I have worked on policy analysis, research briefs, document review, and the translation of complex diplomatic and strategic developments into clear, usable language for decision-makers and general audiences alike.
