Hello! I'm pursuing a masters in Development Studies student (majoring in conflict studies) and I've done a lot of grassroots work with organisations in the past back home in India.  Working in conflict zones has made me realise how essential it is to practice compassion and I do believe that this was taught to me by my first ever dog/companion. Taking care of her and growing up with her has had such a huge impact on me! I've grown with a bunch of different animals around me - turtles, rabbits, cats, cows - you name it! It is the compassion that she taught me that I carry with me in my personal and professional life. It's been challenging to move to a new country, but I think that people around me have made it much easier for me. I am good with animals, and since I have taken care of my sick dog back home, I am also comfortable with giving medicines on time and making sure that your furry friend recieves all the love and attention it needs!
