I have completed a Master's in Conflict Analysis and Peacebuilding from Jamia Millia Islamia University. I have previously worked as a Communications intern with United Nations Climate Change, Germany and contributed to the COP26 held in Glasgow. I also interned with National Human Rights Commission India. I am currently serving as a Youth Waging Peace Ambassador with UNESCO MGIEP. My commitment to gender, peacebuilding and human rights led me to be selected as one of the Young Ambassadors by Initiatives of Change, Switzerland 2021. I received scholarship in recognition of mypeacebuilding work to attend Summer Peacebuilding Programme, organised by Middlebury Institute of International Studies USA. My main areas of interest are the exploring the intersections between gender, climate change and migration. In the future I wish to work as a peace researcher with an international organisation and continue bringing about positive change in our world.
