Prior to my present role, I worked as Director at the Institute of Law and Research, Faridabad, as Director at St. Peter’s College, Faridabad, and also as Registrar of Kawa Global University. After handling so much throughout my career, I will say one thing that has kept me always connected to the education sector is its constant evolution and learning opportunities. I got the opportunity to be participative in an ever-changing domain, which motivates me. It gives me immense pleasure to lead and organise an institution, its faculties, and students, and to look at the overall development. It's a challenge and I prefer to always face it.

Receiving regular feedback from them and interacting with different people from diverse backgrounds are regular duties. We also look into giving and receiving emotional comfort from colleagues, and students.
