About

I’m an environmentalist passionate about understanding and protecting the natural world. My work combines field research, biodiversity observation, and community awareness to promote sustainable conservation. From studying avifaunal diversity in Srinagar to exploring Ladakh’s cold deserts, I’ve learned how every ecosystem tells a story worth protecting. I’m especially drawn to wildlife ecology, conservation research, and the intersection between science and local communities. Curious by nature and driven by purpose, I’m eager to keep learning, collaborating, and contributing to projects that help preserve our planet’s incredible biodiversity.

Chief Internship Coordinator at Wildlife Conservation Fund (WCF) - YPJK, Nov 2025 - Dec 2025 · 2 mos, Jammu & Kashmir, India, Working as the Chief Internship Coordinator at the Wildlife Conservation Fund has been one of the most meaningful experiences of my career. My role allows me to work directly with students, conservationists, and field experts while supporting real on-ground environmental work across Kashmir. I design and manage internship programs that introduce students to wetlands, lake systems, wildlife habitats, and restoration projects. From planning field visits to guiding interns through their daily observations, I ensure that every learning experience is structured, practical, and easy to understand. I am also responsible for coordinating meetings, preparing field-based reports, managing communication, and ensuring the smooth flow of all internship activities. What I enjoy most is helping interns grow, whether it's teaching them how to write a scientific field report, helping them understand ecological concepts, or motivating them to take conservation seriously. This role has strengthened my leadership, communication, and ability to manage teams in challenging field conditions. Overall, my work here combines administration, education, field learning, and conservation impact, something I truly value.
