As a Knowledge Management and Communications Associate for the Indus Basin Initiative, my main role is communicating to as broad an audience possible, the initiative’s vision of building a resilient Indus Basin.

How do you protect the pulse of the planet?
I protect the pulse by initiating conversations about climate change with my family members and friends. Over time, I hope the circle grows bigger and the conversations reach wider!
What is your favorite part of the work you do at ICIMOD?
I love that every morning as I enter the gate, I am greeted with bright flowers, beautiful trees, and fresh air! I love that we can sit in the grass and soak in the warm sun during the chilly winter days. At work, I love having the space to try out my ideas and the support to execute them.
What are you passionate about?
I am passionate about reading, writing, and exploring the marvels of nature!
My qualifications
