Since 2010, I have been involved in the Himalayan region of Nepal and across the South Asian diaspora, examining issues related to education; international labour migration; infrastructure and community development; and citizenship-related challenges. 

These long-term engagements have allowed me to work alongside grassroots organizations, youth networks, and policy actors, in turn, bridging academic inquiry with lived realities and co-developing strategies for inclusive development and rights-based governance.

More details on three related research projects can be found here. 

My work spans strategic planning for post-disaster recovery efforts; cybersecurity upgrades for NGOs; communication responsibilities; and policy advice for human rights initiatives.

 I also have extensive experience providing consultative recommendations for more inclusive learning and labour spaces for marginalized community members, refugees, and migrants in Nepal, India, Guyana, Canada, the U.S., Qatar, and France. 

 My research and consultancy experiences also extend to child and youth-related education, labour and migration contexts in the U.K.,  Spain, Portugal, Austria, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Singapore, South Korea, China, Japan, Hong Kong, Zambia,  Senegal, Ivory Coast, Dubai, Kuwait and Australia, among others.
