Advocate

I'm a community operations and coordination professional deeply embedded in the Wikimedia and open knowledge ecosystem. With over 9 years of volunteer experience and 4+ years of professional engagement, I specialise in cross-regional facilitation, committee operations, documentation, and community engagement.

I am particularly familiar with the challenges and dynamics of South Asian and ESEAP affiliates, especially in grants and program management contexts. My work is grounded in cultural sensitivity, empathy, and process efficiency.
