About Me

I am a development sector professional with diverse experience across fields such as gender, arts, healthcare, education, livelihoods, and entrepreneurship. Over the years, I have worked as a consultant, data collector, content writer, researcher, teacher, presenter, and even been part of founding teams at various organizations.

However, for a long time my Artistic-self took a backseat. Being a part of various nukkad nataks (street plays) and stage performances (dance ballets & theatre performances) during my early days, I have known & always believed that Arts can creatively engage the mundane life and drive change.

My re-connection with Creative Practices surfaced during my time in the UK. Through modules like Creative & Reflective Practices for Social Change at IDS and being in numerable theatre performances; my passion for contributing artistically came alive again. I also collaborated with arts-based organizations in the UK, serving as both a researcher and an artist. The impact created by these artistic ventures repurposed my vision and enabled me to explore Arts using scientific temper and creativity.

This journey—spanning two continents and bridging arts and social change—has fueled my advocacy for the arts through research and evidence-driven work. I now focus on using creative practices to inspire change, strengthen communities, and foster inclusivity.
