I have always found a sense of peace and belongingness with nature. Following my interest, I pursued bachelor’s in Environmental Science (honours) from the University of Calcutta and Master’s in Natural Resource Management from Doon University, Dehradun. Subsequently I have joined Wildlife Institute of India and got opportunities to work on several biodiversity conservation projects. I am also pursuing my Ph.D. from Saurashtra University, on ecosystem services of Askot Landscape, Uttarakhand. My research interests lie in biodiversity & ecosystem services, understanding climate change consequences, and landscape ecology. I have joined the Wildlife Institute of India-Category 2 Centre as an administrative assistant in 2021. Since then, I’ve provided scientific and technical inputs in organizing various workshops and other activities of the Centre including capacity building and training of personnel from various fields. I am a passionate, hard-working, dedicated researcher and wish to contribute towards conserving nature’s values of the World Heritage Sites in India and Asia-Pacific. In my leisure time, I love to travel to wilderness areas, cook, read novels, listen to music, and do yoga.
