Her diverse range of interests is showcased through her work in diverse landscapes and its biodiversity ranging from field research to communication and outreach – on urban lakes/wetlands, avenue trees and parks; forests ecosystems to grasslands. Her lifelong passion for nature, its conservation grounded in observation, found her working with the community on urban wetland restoration in her neighborhood; her strength as an outreach communicator for ecology and conservation, has been the backbone for all her nature walks, outdoor explorations and ecological inquiry-based events she conducts for adults and children; a role she continues to play as an nature educator. She has worked with NGOs, forest department and universities on various projects relating to expertise on ecological field estimation, data analysis, ecosystem services, nature education and outreach, conflict and coexistence, to name a few.

She loves being in the outdoors, whether it is working on the land, farming, hiking, or simply walking, observing plants and animals, and documenting nature and ecological behavior. She integrates multi-sensory perceptions into ecology as a richer medium of expression and assimilation. Her constant foray into nature has allowed her to develop a keen understanding of local ecology and how to bring it to the masses. She is an eager ‘learner for life’, constantly dabbling in deeper understanding of the natural world and the science and philosophy behind it.

Her strong belief in sustainable living practices finds her integrating organic farming, nature conservation, music and art, stray animal rescue and rehabilitation, yoga and taichi towards wellness and care for self and the earth. She has lived across India picking up multiple languages, cultures and cuisines. She currently lives in the south of TamilNadu, working on restoring a piece of degraded land to live off of, in a sustainable and ecologically conscious manner that is rooted in coexistence and respect for all life on earth.
