ABOUT ME

Making knowledge
more accessible.

My teaching journey has included biotechnology departments in Mumbai and Pune, as well as work with high-school and junior-college students. I have taught subjects ranging from molecular biology and biochemistry to microbial biotechnology and food microbiology.

Beyond lectures, my responsibilities have included coordinating practical sessions, assessing student performance and supporting co-curricular activities. These experiences bring together subject knowledge and the day-to-day work of helping students learn.

As a subject matter expert and online consultant, I also designed and wrote General Science and Biology scripts for educational videos. This work extended my teaching into multimedia resources for students in grades 6–10.
