I have an educational background in Fine Arts (Painting), Ecology & Environment, and Conservation Leadership. I have worked in the field of urban wildlife rehabilitation, ecological research specialised in bird migration and nature education where I use the medium of visual & performing arts to communicate biodiversity conservation.

My long-term interests are to integrate research, outreach and conservation as well as bring together art and ecology to create stronger links between rural livelihoods and biodiversity conservation.

I am currently associated with the Education and Public Engagement programme of NCF. Alongside, I am exploring the possibilities of ecologically restoring a private plantation in Sakaleshpur region of Karnataka.
