Hello there! I’m a Sustainability Researcher and Policy Analyst working at Peninsular Research Operation Pvt. Ltd., based in Chennai.
I spent my early years in Muscat, Oman, and when it was time for higher studies, I flew to Chennai. Chennai and Oman might be just a few flight hours apart, but the contrast in lifestyles is like comparing a beach vacation with a roller-coaster ride! The kinds of people here and the circumstances that make them who they are seemed interesting to me. I wanted to learn about the various communities and chose to study Community Development at Madras School of Social Work, Egmore.
Why Social Work?
I'm intrigued by people and their choices and what enables them to make a better choice. I've been trying to figure out what can be done so that we make better choices.
Community engagement is truly rewarding for both clients and the community. It brings a smile to my heart that lasts for days when I get to see the real-time social impact.
For my Master's thesis, I dove into research with children living in residential institutions. The experience opened my eyes to the complex emotions, thoughts, and challenges that shape children's lives. The more you think you've figured it out, the more you realize there’s still work to be done!
