Profile Summary

I am a Social Science and Public Health Researcher with a PhD (viva awaited) from Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU), specializing in mixed-methods research, adolescent health, and social policy analysis. With over seven years of experience in qualitative, quantitative, and interdisciplinary research, I have contributed to national and international projects with institutions such as the University of Melbourne, Asian Development Bank, NCERT, DevInsights, and the Global Partnership Network (Germany). My expertise spans research design, SPSS-based statistical analysis, ATLAS.ti-driven qualitative coding, literature reviews, grounded theory, impact assessments, and academic writing. I regularly translate complex datasets into clear, actionable insights for policy, program development, and scholarly outputs. I have authored research reports, book chapters, working papers, and conference presentations at leading academic forums. As a consultant, I value methodological rigour, ethical research practice, and timely delivery. I support clients seeking high-quality research, data analysis, proposal development, and publication-ready academic writing across social sciences, public health, and development sectors.
