  MYCA is a regional programme of the international movement for supporting youth advocacy led by UNICEF. This is jointly managed with the Centre for Environment Education. My project proposal was selected out of 100 applications from across the state. Under the mentorship of their experts, I will be organising art X climate justice awareness campaigns for youth, MUN-style conferences focused on accessibility, sustainability-centric school administration and interactive waste management school programmes. The fellowship will culminate in an actionable report to replicate the project of "Changing School Systems for Climate Justice" to many more educational institutions.

Self-employed

• Sous Chef

  • Jan 2019 - Present

  I have been cooking & baking regularly and have used my skills with food to a) empower fellow students to learn to cook b) spread awareness about vegan and sustainable cooking c) created easy and wholesome recipes (see Youtube), and ultimately to serve my family. So, not-for-profit? With my experience and rigorous training in a fast-pace kitchen, I am proficient in cooking for any audience. I have also conducted extensive research in the intersections of food, cultures, sustainability, and societies, and am always looking for opportunities to cook for those who need food. (This is a glorified way of saying that I just love cooking as a hobby and have helped my mother in the kitchen a lot.)
