Professional Activity I have an undergraduate degree in journalism and an MA in English Literature, and have worked as a writer, a journalist (with Hindustan Times) and a content curator in India, between 2015 and 2018. My academic and professional experience has helped me strengthen my ideas on research, community building, looking out for stories that need telling and more. In 2019, I co-founded Purple Pencil Project, which remains an important platform which I intend to use during and after my MA to bring digital humanties to literary discourse in India. I am also assisting Dr. Priyanka Jacob with network visualization and Dr. Elena Valussi with mapping religious diversity in Sichuan, using QGIS.
