At the intersection of behavioural neuroscience and educational leadership, my role as a Visiting Researcher at Ashoka University's Neuroethology Laboratory is at the forefront of exploring depression-like behaviors in zebrafish. This work not only advances scientific understanding but also mentors the next generation of researchers. As a Postgraduate Student Ambassador at the University of Bristol, my leadership extends beyond the lab, fostering a vibrant academic community and representing my peers as Course Representative for MSc Applied Neuropsychology. My academic journey at University of Bristol is propelled by a commitment to neuropsychological research and the pursuit of a Master’s in Applied Neuropsychology. The collaborative efforts within Ashoka University have culminated in a manuscript under review, showcasing our team's dedication to translating experimental research into actionable insights for mental health treatment strategies. The synergy between my studies and research embodies my drive to make meaningful contributions to mental health understanding and intervention.
