Education: |

I did my schooling from a reputed school in Delhi where I pursued Humanities. I went on to study English Literature in my graduation from Ramjas College, University of Delhi which gives me a good grip over language both written and spoken as well as a good flair in all sorts of writing- report, briefs, memos, research papers. I further did my masters in Public Policy and Governance from Azim Premji University, Bangalore which gives me a balanced knowledge of the legal and governance structure of our country. Along with this, I was taught multiple tools of quantitative as well as qualitative research like Nvivo, Stata. I have a good understanding of the Policy planning, implementation and evaluation and can work comfortably on it in any sector.
