I’m open to partnerships in legal education, policy research, and mediation practice. Together, we can co-create solutions that contribute to justice, equity, and knowledge.

I am pleased to provide my strong recommendation for Dr. Nahid Mustafa, under whose guidance I had the opportunity to work as a Research Officer on the project granted by the National Commission for Women (NCW) on sex workers. Dr. Mustafa’s mentorship extended beyond professional development, as she encouraged intellectual growth and a nuanced understanding of the socio-legal realities surrounding sex work in India. Her leadership made a significant impact on the project’s success, and I am confident that her contributions to research and advocacy will continue to drive meaningful change.
