I have been passionate about nature and environmental protection since my childhood. Despite challenges during my education in environmental science, I remained committed to my cause, participating in volunteer programs and relief efforts, such as during the 2018 Kerala floods. These experiences bolstered my confidence and leadership skills, leading me to co-found the Fireflies community and later establish my organization, alarmo, which focuses on community-led environmental conservation with an emphasis on empowering children to take the lead.
