Earlier, I was working with Vedanta Limited as a CSR officer trainee. I did my graduation from Kirorimal college, Delhi University in Life Sciences but decided to change my stream to social work. During my Graduation, I was working as a Project Manager in an NGO named Umeed - A drop of Hope. This was the time when I developed an inclination toward Social Work. During my two years of MSW course, I did my fieldwork in Nai Disha, an NGO working with the underprivileged children of the Kishangarh community in Delhi and CSR department of TATA Power - DDL. I had a lot of exposure to the ground reality during the two years of my fieldwork. I did my Summer internship with the CSR department of CLP, India where I did the Needs Assessment and Resource Mapping of 5 project villages that came under the CSR purview of the company. I also did research on Transgender and wrote a thesis on the topic " Being a Transgender: Locating Identity, Support, Challenges, and Happiness".
