About

An I/O Psychologist and Psychometric Professional with 9+ years of experience in Psychometric Tool Development, Behavioral Research, Interviewing and Career Development. Most of my work has centered around projects in establishing Job-Personality Fit for Recruitment, Performance Management, Succession Planning and Leadership Development and upskilling for career growth for several organizations. Skilled in Psychological Testing, Tool Development, Research Methodology, Statistics & Competency Mapping, I am supremely enthusiastic about my pursuit of knowledge about human behavior at work and developing great careers. I have worked extensively on understanding, creating and mapping both functional and behavioral skills to career requirements of several students and young professionals and helped them with excelling in behavioural interviews in placements. I am open to opportunities where I can collaborate with individuals or organizations in the areas of Psychometric Assessment Development, Talent Acquisition or Talent Development, Career Coaching and Interview Preparation. I stepped into the HR domain with a Master's Degree focused in Applied Psychology (Specialisation in Organisational Behaviour) from Delhi University and hold a strong orientation and passion for talent research.
