My Background

My journey in the humanities has always been driven by curiosity about people, their minds, their emotions, and the stories that shape them. Over time, psychology evolved from a subject I studied into a lens through which I understand human behaviour, relationships, and the world around me. Now pursuing a BA (Hons.) in Psychology at Manipal Academy of Higher Education (MAHE), Bengaluru, I hope to explore the intersections of psychology, research, and everyday life.

​

Writing has been one of the most meaningful ways I have expressed this curiosity. Through publications in The Times of India and writing on childhood, emotions, and social awareness, I have worked towards making complex ideas accessible and relatable. My experience as Content Head at Titli Foundation further strengthened this interest, allowing me to contribute to initiatives focused on menstrual health, sustainability, and social impact. It taught me how thoughtful communication can translate awareness into action.

​

My involvement in debating and Model United Nations has complemented these experiences by strengthening my research, critical thinking, public speaking, and leadership skills. Serving as Secretary-General of my school’s first MUN was a particularly meaningful milestone, bringing together my interests in diplomacy, collaboration, and organising student-led initiatives.

​

Beyond academics, my interest in wildlife, particularly tigers, has taken me on safaris that have deepened my appreciation for biodiversity and conservation. These experiences reflect the curiosity that continues to guide me across disciplines.

Today, I see myself as an aspiring psychology researcher and communicator, a creative writer, and a student leader. I am keen to keep questioning, learning, and exploring how human behaviour, research, and creativity can come together to foster greater understanding and meaningful change.
