Experience
I hold a PhD in Sociology and work currently for a wildlife conservation organization. A major part of my PhD was done using MAXQDA which has resulted in good academic publications. I attended MQIC 2020 and was a speaker at MAXDAYS 2021. I have conducted a few workshops at Student Conference on Conservation Science (SCCS) - Bengaluru in 2021 and 2022.
