I am a nature educator and conservation practitioner with over 23 years of research and in-practice experience in the conservation sector. I founded Nature Classrooms in late 2018 (started as an initiative of NCF's EPE Programme) to design age-appropriate, locally-culturally relevant nature learning modules, conduct immersive training workshops to connect teachers and educators to the natural world, and to guide them to integrate nature learning as part of everyday school curricula. I love integrating my passion for insects, spiders, and community engagement to rekindle and reimagine nature learning in India. My earlier work stints were with the CIKS, CCI UK, and the Nature Conservation Foundation in various Institutional and Programme roles. I have an MPhil in Conservation Leadership from the University of Cambridge, UK and a Masters in Ecology from the University of Pondicherry, India. My publications can be accessed here and here.
