Professional Experience:
I bring a diverse blend of academic expertise in International Relations, hands-on experience across multiple sectors, and a strong commitment to social impact. My professional journey reflects adaptability, cross-cultural engagement, and a dedication to advancing research, policy, and community initiatives.
Most recently, I served as a Residential Advisor at Y Suites, Canberra (Feb 2024 – Jun 2025), where I provided residential support to a multicultural student community. My role required conflict resolution, peer mentorship, event coordination, and academic guidance, strengthening my leadership and interpersonal skills while fostering an inclusive living environment.
In parallel, I completed an Event Planning and Public Engagement Internship at the Australian Institute of International Affairs (Jan 2024 – May 2024). Here, I planned and executed high-profile events, managed logistics and budgets, coordinated itineraries, and built valuable professional networks. This experience deepened my understanding of international affairs outreach and enhanced my organizational and public engagement capabilities.
Earlier, as a Content Writer for Track2Training (Jul 2021 – Oct 2021), I produced articles on “Leadership in Education” for external stakeholders, honing my research, writing, and communication skills. I also worked as a Summer Intern at Victora Auto Private Limited (Jul 2021 – Aug 2021), where I mapped production, planning, and control processes to optimize stock levels and minimize air freight costs during the post-COVID supply chain recovery.
At Parimal Pathshala (Feb 2021 – Apr 2021), I designed and developed a teachers’ professional handbook by analyzing and finalizing effective, research-based teaching strategies. In The World Bank Group internship (Dec 2019 – Jan 2020), I conducted research on social and cultural barriers to nutrition service uptake in West African nations, contributing to policy-relevant insights.
My commitment to social causes is evident in my long-term volunteer work with Kind Beings NGO (Mar 2020 – Jun 2022), where I supported educational initiatives for underprivileged children. I have also led and contributed to environmental and social awareness campaigns, including plantation drives, food and staples collection during COVID-19, street plays on environmental conservation, and cultural events for old-age homes.
Beyond professional roles, my academic projects bridge theory and practice in areas such as gender, violence, migration, humanitarianism, and the politics of memory. For instance, I authored a research essay on U.S. non-state actors’ struggle to pass House Resolution 121 (“Comfort Women” resolution) and conducted studies on the mental health impacts of gender-based violence in India.
My background is supported by global academic exposure, including a Master of International Relations from the Australian National University and a Bachelor of Business Administration from Symbiosis Centre of Management Studies. Alongside, I have undertaken multiple certifications in gender, climate, social inclusion, and mental health, equipping me with interdisciplinary perspectives.
Across all roles, I have consistently demonstrated the ability to navigate complex issues, manage events and projects, conduct rigorous research, and engage diverse communities. I thrive in environments that demand adaptability, analytical thinking, and a balance between strategic vision and practical implementation. My ultimate goal is to leverage these skills to contribute to initiatives at the intersection of international relations, gender, and social development, with lasting local and global impact.
