I have a Master’s in Biotechnology and experience in cancer research, public health, epidemiology, and stem cell biology. While in the lab, I love observing cells under the microscope. Beyond the lab, you’ll find me interacting with women and girls in rural India as part of my work with Asha Foundation. I educate them about breast and cervical cancers, along with promoting healthy menstruation habits.

In the future, I’m enthusiastic about delving deeper into science communication using different platforms, like social media and the press. When I’m not working, I enjoy travelling, practising yoga, meditation, swimming, and reading novels.
