Hi, I’m Nikhil. My academic background includes a Bachelor’s degree in Advanced Zoology and Biotechnology, a Master’s degree in Human Genetics, and I am currently pursuing a Master of Environment and Sustainability at Monash University. Throughout my studies and internships, I’ve developed a strong interest in understanding the relationship between science, sustainability, and environmental management. I’ve gained hands-on experience across poultry farming, fisheries, cattle breeding, apiculture, and regenerative agriculture, giving me exposure to a wide range of environmental and biological systems. These experiences, combined with my scientific background, have helped me develop strong analytical, research, and problem-solving skills. I am particularly interested in sustainability, conservation, circular economy, and finding practical solutions to environmental challenges. I’m always keen to learn, connect with professionals in the field, and explore opportunities where I can apply science to create positive environmental outcomes.
