I completed my undergraduate degree with a BSc Honours in Biological Sciences from Krea University and also hold a Postgraduate Diploma in Interwoven Arts and Sciences from Krea University. Currently, I am pursuing my Master's in Public Health at Azim Premji University.

I have been working as a Science Tutor at Angle Be Learn, an online tutoring institution based in Kozhikode, Kerala, since November 2023. I teach science subjects, including Physics, Chemistry, and Biology, to students up to grade 12, covering various curricula such as State, CBSE, and ICSE. I also create study materials for students from grades 1 to 12. My role involves understanding the challenges students face in learning these subjects and devising strategies to help them overcome those difficulties, ensuring a more effective and engaging learning experience.

Since January 2023, I have also been serving as a Research Associate at Korea University, Chennai, where I focus on content designing, including the creation of lecture videos, and manage logistics for students and interns. I guide middle and high school students in various project topics such as traffic awareness, climate change mitigation, waste management, and museum engagement, fostering creativity and practical problem-solving skills.

In September 2023, I mentored high school students through the HCL Jigsaw program in collaboration with Korea University. I helped students research, ideate, and design worksheets on topics like the history of geography and public health. Additionally, I supported their presentation and communication skill development, managing their presentations and evaluations.

In late 2022, I worked as a Research Assistant at Rhapsody Plus, Chennai, where I guided middle and high school students on projects related to tourism development in India, empathy in learning, and community leadership. Earlier, in June and July 2021, I conducted a literature review for the George Institute of Public Health in Delhi. My research focused on improving healthcare access and quality for scheduled tribes in Kokrajhar, Assam, contributing to the project aimed at achieving universal health coverage.

In addition to my tutoring and research roles, I contributed to curriculum design for the KANAVU Aseefa Foundation in Cuddalore between June and August 2021. I digitized academic content from Tamil Nadu government syllabus books for virtual education during the COVID-19 pandemic. I collaborated with Pratham Publications to create balanced literacy packets (BLPs) for high school students, working on 72 publications across various educational levels.
