About

I am a professional social worker with over 5 years of experience in the development sector. I am a motivated individual who believes in working at the grassroots level to bring about change and contribute significantly towards the sustainable development of society. Presently I am working on a STEM-based project with the objective to impart quality education in government schools, address the stated need of improving learning outcomes, provide the right environment, build scientific temperament, and weave a career pathway through preparing students, especially girls for higher education. Along with this, children are being helped in the preparation of competitive exams in the STEM field. I have worked in the education sector focusing on SDG 4 and SDG 5, in which the main focus of the projects has been STEM education for adolescent girls, and the development of 21st-century skills in government school children. Also, I have worked on a project where children were made aware of the 3Rs of plastic and PET waste.
