Institutional Partnerships for Student Success

This academic skills and research development initiative partners with universities to strengthen academic writing, undergraduate research readiness, and advanced research design capacity through a scaffolded studio model.

I work alongside faculty and programme leaders to provide targeted, assignment-aligned workshops that build student capability while supporting institutional priorities under NEP 2020 and NAAC quality frameworks.
