Experience

Professionally, I am currently working as a Junior Resource Person for Kashmiri Language at the National Translation Mission      CIIL Mysuru . 

 I have worked with Shaip AI for two years on Kashmiri translation and transcription projects.

 From 2017 to 2025, I was associated with Akashvani Srinagar, where I served as an announcer, compere, sound editor, script writer, translator, and trainer. During this time, I also led the Amarnath Yatra transmission for four consecutive years, a responsibility that was appreciated by the Ministry of Home Affairs and received recognition from listeners across the world.

Beyond broadcasting, I am deeply passionate about birding and community science initiatives. I had the privilege to serve as South Asia Coordinator for CitizenScience.Asia, working in collaboration with organizations like WWF, iNaturalist, GBIF, GigaScience, and the National Geographic Society to promote citizen engagement in biodiversity conservation.

I have a strong command of Kashmiri, English, Urdu, and Hindi, which allows me to connect with diverse audiences. Alongside my professional and academic pursuits, I also write poetry and fiction, exploring the beauty of language, nature, and human experiences.
