I am a nature educator and conservation practitioner with a keen interest in human-wildlife coexistence, snake ecology, and community outreach. Growing up between Bengaluru and my grandparents’ village near Kaggalipura sparked my curiosity about wildlife and people’s relationships with it. I hold a postgraduate diploma in marketing and communications from Jagdish Sheth School of Management and work at the intersection of conservation, education, and communication. I have volunteered with the Karnataka Forest Department, Sadhana Forest, and other organisations contributing to wildlife awareness, conflict mitigation, and reforestation initiatives while engaging communities in conversations around coexistence. At Nature Classrooms I am working closely with the team and our long term collaborators at the Fig Tree Learning Centre (FTLC) to document, curate and digitise over two decades of nature-based teaching-learning resources and lesson plans developed through practice by FTLC’s educators and practitioners.
