She has authored thought-provoking articles in leading publications such as The Times of India, Hindustan Times, and Down to Earth magazine, addressing topics like the One Nation One Election policy and climate change. As an active member of the UN Girl Up initiative at her school, she contributes through impactful fundraising projects and event management. Her internship at the Fortis Hospital psychology department allowed her to delve deeper into understanding mental health challenges across different age groups.
