Interests

With a foundation in English literature and a grounding in legal studies, I have always been drawn to the power of language — its ability to shape perceptions, challenge norms, and ignite change My undergraduate journey as an English major with a Law minor at the Symbiosis School for Liberal Arts provided a unique vantage point, merging the analytical rigor of legal reasoning with the nuanced art of storytelling This blend of disciplines taught me to appreciate the precision of language, the weight of words, and the ethical considerations that underpin impactful communication

Now, as I pursue a Master of Communication (Public Relations) at Deakin University, I find myself at the intersection of storytelling and strategy, where narratives not only inform but also influence I am learning to navigate the complexities of media dynamics, stakeholder engagement, and public perception, translating complex ideas into compelling, relatable narratives

I believe that every piece of content is an opportunity to bridge the gap between intention and impact, to connect with audiences on a deeper, human level, and to shape public discourse with purpose and authenticity My aim is to contribute to projects that push the boundaries of traditional public relations, crafting narratives that resonate, inspire, and redefine the conversation
