About

I'm fascinated by how people learn and I find the greatest satisfaction in creating those moments when something finally clicks. For the past 9+ years, I've worked across K–12 education, teacher development, curriculum design, facilitation, and academic programme management. I've taught students, coached educators, partnered with school leaders, and designed learning experiences that help both learners and teachers grow. In my current role at Parikshe, I design and deliver Grade 10 Science learning experiences, facilitate faculty development programmes, analyse learner data, and work with cross-functional teams to strengthen academic quality. Before this, I spent several years working directly with schools and classrooms—conducting teacher training, classroom observations, mentoring students, leading STEM initiatives, and supporting schools through curriculum implementation and academic interventions. What I bring to the table: → Academic Programme Management & Curriculum Design → Teacher Training, Facilitation & Instructional Coaching → Learning Experience Design & Adult Learning → Curriculum Implementation & Academic Quality → Stakeholder Engagement Across Schools, Communities & Partners → Data-Informed Decision Making & Continuous Improvement My journey into education began after four years as a Software Developer. That transition shaped how I approach my work today—with structured thinking, curiosity, and a deep belief that meaningful learning has the power to change lives. Whether I'm facilitating a workshop, designing a learning programme, mentoring educators, or solving complex academic challenges, I enjoy creating environments where people feel supported, challenged, and inspired to learn. If you're working on teacher development, learning and development, academic programmes, or education innovation, I'd love to connect. Feel free to reach out via DM.
