BIO

I have been at my current position since 2017, after having previously taught at two other colleges in Goa. Prior to a teaching career, I’ve had stints in the aptitude training, and in the mental health industries. I have also been a volunteer on a Listening/Suicide Prevention helpline, which was an exceptional learning experience. My current work is focussed on first-responder mental wellbeing, mental health awareness/advocacy, and on improving the quality of mental health/psychology education in Goa.

Positions Held Member of multiple institutional administrative committees such as Board of Studies, Election Committee, and Research, Development and Innovation Cell, among others.
