About me
Hi, I'm Tanya!
I'm a social science researcher at the United Nations University (CRIS, Belgium), an incoming PhD candidate in Interdisciplinary Methodologies at the University of Warwick, and an editor at H-Net (USA). Before this, I have worked at People's Courage International (USA), University of Geneva, UChicago Trust alongside the Delhi Government, VU Amsterdam, and Greenpeace India.
Over the last four years I've won 10+ grants, scholarships, and travel awards across Germany, the Netherlands, South Korea, Finland and the UK, and qualified UGC-NET for Assistant Professorship twice. I've also sat on the other side of the table as a peer reviewer for Vernon Press and many other academic journals, so I know what selection committees and editors actually respond to.
Now I help students and early-career researchers get there faster than I did.
Book me for:
- CV & résumé building: academic CVs, industry résumés, cover letters
- SOPs, motivation letters & research proposals for PhD, Masters, grants and fellowships
- Applications to top institutes and programme shortlisting, funding routes, supervisor outreach, interview prep
- Personal branding through LinkedIn, ORCiD, academic profiles, digital presence
- Networking & cold outreach: emailing professors, conferences, publishing your first paper
- 1:1 career guidance: sociology, development, climate, policy and the wider social sciences
Come with a draft or come with a blank page, both work. You'll leave with concrete edits, a clear next step, and honest feedback rather than polite encouragement.
